Height wise, I could not be happier with my Bride Stradia II's. Not sure how it would be if you were a few inches shorter but for my height (almost 6'3) they are perfect. Plenty of room for a helmet now

Hard as a rock! Even though they say it has padding and in pics you can see the little pads everywhere, you can't feel them. They're like 1/2" thick. Like sitting on wood. The forza padding is like 2" thick. Much more comfy even as a DD. I hope the forza sport FIA feels the same.

You could start with any of the normal seat bases for our car (theirs, or Sparco's, or Planted, etc), and drill holes matching the bottom holes, but as you said you'd lose some angle adjustment unless you shim them. Shimming them safely will probably require more than a random set of washers, too - maybe make some wide shim plates of aluminum. In any case: no, the "bottom mount" holes on a bottom-mount-able seat are not meant to bolt directly to the floor of the car. They won't be anywhere near the same place as the seat mount holes in our car, and both the seat and the car have threaded holes, neither has a bolt . Something goes between the two. You could custom-fab that something to minimize height, but it might be easier to use one of the bases listed above as a starting point and just modify it. |

If it warms up enough to get the race car out of the garage and the 370 in I'll snap some pictures of my custom mount. It's a chopped up Planted base leveled with steel... There are a few pics of it mounted in my build thread (maybe in here too if you look back a ways) I'm 6'5" ~200lbs and all legs so I'm as far back and low as possible.

I was originally after a Recaro Sportster seat with an airbag, but it was going to cost me $3500. If Stradias are **** for a daily I'm now considering Vorgas, but I can't find any info on how low you can mount them (solid mount on planted base?? Bride MO rails? Anyone?!). I want more headroom. |

If you could check those rails that'd be great mate. Thanks for that! Quote:
In your opinion, with bride rails would the Vorga sit almost as low? Thanks for the Ravspec details, I'm in Australia though, so the postage would be a killer. Appreciate your help man. |
