So I know this is my first post to these boards. But I am seriously considering getting an xB as a daily driver. ( i have no car anymore at this time. ) I drove my buddy's and the only thing that felt awkward to me was the seating position. I'm fairly tall at 6'3" and i still have loads of headroom, but what I didn't like was the fact that the steering wheel had to be all the way up ( at a funny angle ) for me to sit comfortably.

My question is, is there any way to lower the seat brackets? I looked under the seats and its like theyre sitting on a 2-tier bracket.

Any ideas?

thanks for the help!

Most tall people try to raise the seat----

Im chris w. from weapon-r. we offer seat brackets for the XB. We have them in our Project xb. the seat brackets with aftermarket seats lower the seat position quite a bit. I am 6' 4 and love driving the car. I will post pics of the lower seats in a few days when i get back in the office.

Hmmm... Not contesting that you need a lower seat, but I'm 6' 4" and I sit fine in the car. Yeah, the wheel's all the way up, but that doesn't bug me.

Maybe I also don't lower the seat because my wife is 5' 1" and she would kill me if I did.

Well I'm not married, and I'd be more comfortable with the steering wheel a bit lower, in a more neutral position. ( I'm coming from a number of different sports cars lol )

I think this will be a fun little car to get me around for a while. I'll definitely be doing performance modifications to it ( primarily handling ) and a decent set of wheels. but no showy stuff.
