Best seat for agi roll bar nb

Postby ryuhou » Thu Jul 03, 2014 5:50 pm

Hi guys just installed the glass window agi bar and lost about 10cm of travel on my bride digo- was wondering what the best seat for comfort would be? Helmet clearance is not of concern at this point.
Cheers mike

I have the same problem, and I believed any sparco seat should be able to fit in, just make sure to tilt back the seat to where you like when you do the welding.

You don't loose any seat travel with the MX5Plus Roll bar (not the Tall Boy).

Sparco fitted and plenty of room for my 192cm.

II you've already bought the it I say sell bar to someone who is going to bolt the seat to the floor for track only and get a Brown Davies or Mania or MX5 + ones.
