The seat is already low! Im but 25mm from the floor, i can get about a other 15mm lower when i make my new seat brackets, and i need to adjust my inner harness eyelet and then i can shift the seat over a tad more as it hits the bracket currently due to my eyelet angle,It's a known problem. Change to the thinner padding, move seat lower and closer to center. Build cage next time with driver seat and helmet installed.
For the floor i believe i am not allowed to modify as it might be classed as flat flooring and i would be bumped up to pro class and i dont want that! (YET) .I don't know the regulations. But saw an episode on tv where a basketball player had to have the floor pan lowered in order to fit in the car (he also had to have the driver seat moved to the backseat)
Are you allowed to cut out and fab up a lowered floor pan?
I also don't know how far down you could go regardless, definetly wouldn't want my butt to be the lowest point of the car.
I'm 6'4" and 270 lbs I didn't have issue with my 95gsx but it only had a 6pt cage in it and I was only 180lbs. Back then.
And I need to do a full cage in this car and it's got me worried now
No, what i noticed on my stock arms was the droplink was very angled and i noticed this even more when installed my ones on, so to bring it over to be more level i spaced the mount out 10mm, its not to do with performance but aimed at keeping everything true and to stop bindingJust wondering what this spacer actually does. Does it move the sway bar out and change its performance at all?

Not sure if everyones is like this, can check yours if you wish to see,Is that something we all should be doing with your arms/droplinks?

I am planning to have them made anyway to go in the rear arm kit and used if needed, rather send it as a full kit then its an issue and people have to resolve it themselfs
I do try my best dude, after all if i am going to sell something i want it to be as easy to install and less hassle as possible for the installer and not have to WHIP something upI should have known that you think of everything.
5083 H111, its the strongest grade they had in this sheet and is much more then I will ever see for seat bracketsWhat alloy are you using?
SFI 45.1 is 1/2" thick, mine is 1" thick, while it deems ok for SFI its not FIA as they require slightly thicker still , crazy right! but i am allowed to go thinner on the cage anyway, as for the cage padding we can stick to MSA rules which allows me to go down to 1/2" thick and I will be getting some from a company called safety devices who are MSA approved cage and safety builders here in the UK,Your cage padding by the helmet doesn't look to spec. You need the very high density stuff anywhere your helmet may make contact in most rulebooks. SFI 45.1
