These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

16 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Well I got the seat basically because I thought it would be lower since I am 6'3" and plan on doing some TT events for the GGR region eventually. They require the 6pt harness so I thought these would be perfect. After searching, I noticed that people were saying they're not lower than the 'Sport Seats', but I am wondering if they are going to be lower than the stock seats? I also saw that Brey Krause sells some lower brackes. Has anyone had success using these? If it's not going to get me lower I am going to cancel the order. Please let me know. Thanks Mike

POST 2Original post

i had sport seats and now gt3 seats. the gt3 seats are definitely lower. i used whatever brackets that came with the gt3 seats.

POST 3Original post

John where are your sport seats now? or are you talking about the set i took already?

POST 4Original post

Mike, someone locally got the GT3 seat lowering kit...it def made the seats lower

POST 5Original post

call up devek.net. they apparently set up a lot of gt3s with one piece gt3 seats. check out BK auto - gt3 side mounts 9078 GGR is at thunderhill august 6-7. see ya there! btw, if you only do the one day High Speed Driving School then you only need a helmet long sleeved shirt/pants and driving gloves, no harness needed.

POST 6Original post

kirby, the sport seat is gone. you took them ;-)

POST 7Original post

(Disclaimer - I had the standard seats, not the sport seats). The GT3 seat is about 1/2 inch higher than the stock seat at it's lowest position . My helmet touches the headliner now, where it did not with the stock seat at it's lowest position . And if you think about it, it makes sense. Why would a fixed height seat not be in the range of the adjustable seat?

POST 8 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Wow, really? That's not good, plus the back isn't adjustable and I am already having to slouch and put the seat back a little. Are they good for a daily driver? Hmmmm. Anyone have any ideas for something different I should get? Chip? Exhaust?

POST 9Original post

I ordered my GT3 with the lowered seats, and this makes about a 10mm (approx 1/2 inch) difference. So if the GT3 seat is not lower, you can lower it, but I think the GT3 seat is already lower based upon switch in the GT2 (IIRC). Bottom line ..no need to cancel! As always..just buy more parts!

POST 10Original post

No, get the seat with the BK side plates and it will be lower and WAY comfortable.

POST 11Original post

Remember too with the GT 3seat you sit a little further forward on the track, and this creates even more head room (for the helmet) because of the shape of the roof.

POST 12Original post

and yuo could always sell the seats if they don't work out. People always looking for seats

POST 13 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

How do the BK sliders help? How do you install them?

POST 14Original post

Anyone have part numbers for whatever it takes for the factory "lowered" option that Colm mentions? My understanding is the BK brackets that are used with the factory sliders are even lower. Anyone have those part numbers handy?

POST 15Original post

They are side rails, they replace the side rails of the stock seat and mount on the stocl sliders. They are lower, and I believe provide some adjustment for recline (by way of fixed holes you can choose, not adjustable on the fly)
