Tall guy seats?

[jrkermode]

I'm looking for helmet clearance in my 2002 GTS. I thought I had the problem licked when I installed the NWE 2" kit and removed the under seat webbing. Unfortunately, I discovered this leaves me sitting on the seat back adjusters. Not very comfortable. I'm now thinking of going to Sparco Roadster seats. Do any of you tall guys have experience running this seat?

Call Bobby Archer Motorsports at 817-877-1772, as he has more experience than anyone in the country with Sparco seats in Vipers.
Good Luck !

Seat update.

I tried (and ordered) the Sparco Roadster this weekend. It fits in the car and lowers you about as much as removing the underseat webbing and installing the NWE 2" kit. This puts your butt about 2.5" above the floor.

Since I first posted, I've tried at least 2 dozen seats. The only thing I found that can get you lower than the Roadster, is an aluminum race seat. I eliminated race seats (defined as those with tall sides and holes for a lap belt) early on because the tall sides don't allow you to twist and squirm to get your legs in the car.


My advice;
Tall & Skinny: NWE 2" kit and remove the underseat webbing.
Tall & Fat (Lower polar moment of inertia!): Sparco roadster.
