how much is it hitting by?

can you move the rails over that distance or will it destroy your driving position?


if you answered yes.... time to find some skinnier seats :finger:

yeah ive got a set, they are a bastard to fit, you need to jam them hard up against the centre console and need to pack up the outside a couple of mm and it just clears the pilar, they also sit up a couple of inches higher.
you probly dont want to hear this but repco had them on sale at xmas for around the $400 mark for a set.

sorry to hijack
i want my seats up a little higher but do they sit that high that you hit your knees on the steering wheel etc?
and also how is your view of gauges etc from that spot?

you do hit your knees a bit and its hard to see the speedo, but you get used to it
