Race Seat Lowering

Is this the thread you were thinking about?

It starts off by trying to raise the seat, but the same process also can lower the seat.

I have the CF race seats in a 458 but they are not electric, only manual. There are bolt holes in the carrier frame where you can adjust the bucket in the driver's seat up or down and adjust the rake of the seat as well. It involves removing the seat from the car, and placing the bolts in the desired holes to achieve the desired raise/lower/adj rake. This is the video of my friends adjusting my CF racing seat. IF thee are the holes in the frame, then you can probably adjust it some in relation to the electric lift. If no bolt holes then you are probably limited to the range of the electric lift.

AFAIK, they stopped putting the adjustment holes in the race seats with the introduction of the 488. There are certainly none in mine anyway as I had the seat out to check for that specific reason.

 

cant you just shorten your fake legs ?

 

you should install a moon roof

 

Doesn't the seat lifter, even in lower position, raise the seat a little ? in this case, removing the lifter would bring a little benefit.

 

so whats the probem? you trying to wear a helmet?

 

my helmet is buried in the ceiling of my 488.

Wasn't one of the reasons you got an F8 was because of the sport seats instead of the comfort like you had in your 488? Does the F8 with sport seats seem lower then the 488 with comfort seats or about the same?
