Hey,
I know a similar topic appeared recently, but I didn't see any satisfactory answers. http://laf.cioe.com/~benbobbo/NonCGI/frown.gif
Does anyone know of a way to lower the seats in a classic by putting in different brackets, etc.?
I'm 6'1" and my sunroof's "outer lip" rubs against my head.
Thanks

Man you must be all torso. I am 6'4 and have plenty of headroom in my classic. I think the seats are plenty low and the door sills feel high compared to other cars.

Have any legs?

I do have a somewhat long torso, but no, my legs aren't short either. I think the problem might lie in the fact that it's an aftermarket moonroof. It cuts into the headroom, before it was no problem. I agree, it has more headroom than most cars stock.

Yes, you have ot get NX2000 seats and swap the brackets. NX2000 seats sit lower than the classic ir 200SX.
I am still looking for classic seats to see if they bolt to the frame of the bracket like NX2000. Otherwise NX2000 seats are the ones to get.

I was thinking about this too, as I'm 6'5" and it would be nice to have a little more head or leg room (even though I still manage to fit in the car with a helmet on).

Would any aftermarket sport seats (recaro, etc) be any better, maybe if a custom bracket was made?

I would not mind loosing the ability to slide the seat forward or backward, as long as it could recline.

Yeah, I tried to think of a way to lower it, cause Im 6'1" and my head always rubs, and I dont have a sun roof. But I think its not the leg or torso problem so much, I just got a big ass, hahaha.

There is no way I will be able to Road Race in this car unless I can lower AT LEAST and inch so I can have a helmet on AND be able to look straight.

Yup, bolt right in. I've got Classic seats in my NX with the Classic brakets. Nick E has Classic seats with NX brakets in his NX and the difference is suprising. His sits much lower than mine.

Awesome!
So if I understand you correctly I just need to swap the Classic brackets for the NX brackets and I can still use the Classic seat, right?
And the seat will bolt in properly and slide like before, too?

Sorry to bring an old thread back, but.....


So has anyone done this, yet?
Does it work for sure?
And if so what are the part #s I need for my 91 SeR?
TIA

I would be interested too. If i can simply replace the sentra brackets with the nx brackets (no modifications?), and still use my sentra seats, that would be awesome!
