After having owned a GR86 for a year I'm reconsidering one again.
On my previous car I had the M2 Motorsport seat rails with a Recaro Pole Position ABE. However it was still very tight and I didn't really felt comfortable in the car.
I'm 1m93 and have a quite tall upper body.
What is the lowest seating position you can with the stock seat or with a Recaro PP ABE, preferably with retaining some seat sliders?
 
Do you feel on the car rather than in it so to speak? I'm 6 foot and feel nice and low although the cowl is very low in this car due to the boxer layout so might make people think they're sitting higher up? So i feel low compared to the door card but then have great visibility due to the low cowl..

No not really but my head is just against the headliner. I can't drive a standard car to be honest. I also have a very active driving position so I sit quite upright which doesn't help.

Anybody who has a Recaro Pole Position in the MK2 GRY? Preferably with sliders and with a lower seat position?
With my 6'4 and tall upper body I'm still struggling in the original seats. Also my back is hurting when I'm 20 minutes in the car. I can't drive the car like this to be honest :(
I hope someone can point me to a adjustable lowering kit which fits a Recaro Pole Position.
