Hi all, im now on the look out for an RX7, however im quite tall and i was wondering if there is anyway of lowering the height of the seat?

Thank you

Freddy

Stock seats cannot be lowered any further. You could modify the seat rails to mount the seat more towards the rear seats/storage bins for increased leg room.

Mazdaspeed seats are ideal fitment if you are tall enough to have problems driving comfortbaly in a stock RX7 seat.

Thank you for your reply, the leg room and width isnt an issue, but my head is pretty close to the roof lol. Im thinking i may need to go for a bucket seat. what is a mazdaspeed seat?

Thank you

How tall are you mate, I\'m 6\'5" and i\'ve still got stock seats and I fit ok.

im 6ft 3, maybe i just need a hair cut then lol.

My hair prob only sticks up and inch,  also look for a RX witout a sunroof, the sunroof mechanism is hidden in the roof lining and makes the roof a couple of inchs lower.

Pic below of Mazdaspeed seat.

Whilst retaining an almost stock seat position as opposed to a full on bucket seat. The seat dips significantly further down than a stock seat. This should avoid you bumping your head against the roof lining, ;)
