Corbeau seats height?

I'm looking to install corbeau fx1 pro seat on the driver side for autocross. I'm 6'1 and cannot get a helmet on with the stock seat.
Does anyone know if their bracket raises or lowers the seat from stock? Thanks

Re: Corbeau seats height?

I'm assuming a hardtop car? I got my head stuck between the steering wheel and the roof the first time I tried putting a helmet on at the track in my hardtop formula, same issue...

I ended up cutting the seat rails, mounted the seats so they mount a little bit further back than stock (need the legroom, I'm taller than you), and when I did I cut down the back legs and re-welded them back so that the backs of the rails were against the floor. That way when I slid the seats back they lowered down to the floor and when my wife slid them back up they were pretty much at stock height.

Yes hardtop. If I'm understanding correctly you did this to the stock seat rails?
