Default recaro pole positions
Quick question, I just picked up a pair of recaro pole positions:

I am getting custom mounts built without a slider due to seat height with helmet I touch the top of the car.... I guess no other way around it...
Anyone that's over 6'1'' have this problem too? I know EvenHorizon mounted it fixed as well.

Seats and harnesses... custom black leather with custom yellow stitching...

I wound up spending around $1600 for my seat mount/harness & harness bar install. I'm 6'5" which put sliders completely out of the question. Much much more comfortable/safer with a helmet now though.

And now 4 months later I'm considering switching back to stock since I am buying a 350Z to track.

If you go back to stock let me know. I'd be up for buying the seats and hardware, harness bar, and harness if the price is right. fwiw I'm local and could drive up and pick it all up.

I'm 6'2" with a taller co-driver....so, I'm also interested in the seat/hardware.

Thanks

here they are installed. I kept the slider and had custom mounts made by The R's tuning!! Drivers side seat sits a bit lower than passenger side (something on the floor is different). With recaro sliders and side mounts the seat height was pretty much exactly like stock height! Anyone over 6'1'' or so will be too tall with a helmet.....
