GR Yaris Yaris GR Seat Lowering Kit comparison

Long pieces are made of 50x5mm steel. Steel angles, 20x20x3mm, form hollow strengthening ribs for the long pieces, serving solely as reinforcement. The seat mounting studs are countersunk M8 10.9-grade bolts, welded from beneath. The front ones are covered by the angle iron, while the rear ones are visible positioned around the rear mounting hole, which is also countersunk to allow the rear seat bracket to rest over it. Washers around the mounting holes are used to raise the "rails" above the carpet, ensuring a steel-to-steel contact with the car body rather than a steel-to-carpet-to-steel connection.

I hope the photo taken before powder coating makes this clearer.

Nice work
 
Hello,

Anyone know how they lower the seat in the MK2?

Did they lower the base on the chassis?
Or
Used a lower seat bracket like aftermarket?

Thanks

Hi,

After having a little tour in the MK2, I wanted to have the same seating position than in the MK1. However, this would not be possible because they did not change the seat system, they lowered the mount directly on the chassis.

This would be the only reason I would go for the MK2.

At the start of the link the table mentions a possible forum discount for the SWM kit - is this still available, how to I access this, as I am considering doing at least my driver's side seat if not both? Thanks MattS (UK)

Track day outlet on ebay is just SWM selling off older designs why not go direct?

I can't find their shop details - the owner on ebay said at the weekend - contact us on social media or call - but I've had no response from Facebook and I don't have a number for them.

The phone number is shown when you click about on eBay. It also shows them as SWM.
