Bucket seat mounting options

Is it that much higher than the VAC rails?

I found this picture with a rail installed and it doesn't look too high to me. hmm

The bottom mount comes half the height of the one in the picture from recaro for £30-£40 seat.
The design of the recaro is stupid, but once i take the bottom cushion off, its perfectly fine height.

im 6" by the way, and i was able to get a helmet on with the above setup.

Try Sparco they do mounts and sliding runners, to fit the e46 M3. Then all you have to do is choose the seats. I have the pro 2000 with the sliders and mounts fitted they are perfect height and very comfortable!

And you need to buy some "special cream" for your sore arse

If you ask glendog he might have some you can use. lol

The VAC ones aren't exactly the hardest thing in the world to replicate...

When I was fitting Recaro PP's to my old M3 I had some machined up to a drawing I did. They cost me nothing as they were a favour to my dads factory, but I wouldn't imagine them being too expensive as they're just 2 (or 4) pieces of aluminium.

I didn't have as many holes put in mine as the VAC ones.

Unfortunately no photos as I sold them soon after they were done with all the other bits :bigcry:

Not sure if I follow. Are you saying that you can get a lower baseplate mount?
