    Question Spoon Low Position Seat Slider???

    I just noticed that www.spoon-sports.com has a low position seat slider for the EP Type-R. They say it works with the stock seats to lower the seating position. I'm 6'4 and sometimes can hit my head on the ceiling on bumpy roads with an upright seat. Does anyone know anything about this product? Where to get one? Would it help with headroom? Will it fit our Si's?

    The slider is on the Interior/Exterior page right under the Carbon Bucket Seat.

    Thanks!

    Well, I got an email from Alan at A&J Racing. He said that :

    "The seat slider does not fit the stock seat. They are built for the Spoon Carbon Bucket Seats."

    So I am pretty disappointed about that. Their web page is misleading though because it says:

    "This lowers the factory Recaro seat position on Type R applications by about 5 cm."

    The word "factory" has me confused because the Carbon seat isn't the factory seat for the Type R is it?

    Anyway, I was impressed by his quick response and will probably look to them for other stuff in the future. Has anyone had any good or bad experienceswith A&J?

    Another update from Alan with A&J Racing. Apparently there is a low position seat slider available for the stock seats, but it only works on the right side, there are no left hand drive applications. :(

    Oh well. I do fit in the SI, but another inch or so would be great.
    I'm 6'4" and everyone always says to me "It must be nice to be that tall!"
    But it really isnt for car enthusiasts. Why can't car companies build cars for taller people? The average height in America is growing, people are getting taller. I'd love to buy a Miata, but if I did I wouldn't be able to drive it. Lots of other cars that I like have no headroom either: Porsche Boxster, Acura RSX, Audi TT, and on and on! It's discrimination I say, I'm going to start a movement, we'll have a rally on the White House lawn. Surely I could get some NBA players to join my cause? It could be called the "Million Tall Person March!":D

    I'm with you - I would love to have a really low seat rally style - lowers the centre of gravity and when you weigh 230lbs like me that would make a difference:D

    It would just be great to see the tach/speedo through the wheel.

    Yeah, I've given up actually seeing the tach and speedo needles. I try to judge by where the base of the needle is pointing. I just hope I dont get pulled over.

    Cop: "Do you know how fast you were going?"
    Me: "No Officer, i don't have a clue. You see, Honda discriminates against tall people and made this car so I can't see the gauges."
    Cop: "Quit whining, here's your ticket":(

    I'm pretty short, but I wish my seats were lower...I feel like I'm driving a via bus due to seat height...
