you would need seat bracket or make one to mount the seat up id say a spacer to raise you up so you can see over the dash

im actually sat on my bucket seat now and they have 2 3/4 inch spacers

to make the rear accessible you would need a reclining one

im 6 foot, its personal preference to how you sit really and no you would have to get them made up

i suppose it would handle better with you weighted quite alot and was low down but wouldnt make much of and effect

Best way around is to find a pair of side mount seat and get a pair of tall rails, paired up with the omp cinq/sei subframe.

Granted you won't have the ability to have tilt on your seat to allow passengers in the back but then you have a passenger side for that .

Alternatively check the classifieds in Sei section if your not looking to blow your cash out .

the omp one i got the other day has omp sub frame then the 2 3/4 inch spacers mounted to the seat it can go move forwards and back aswell as tilt

so can be done

this is an older omp seat though

Cheapest way is to get a bottom mounted bucket seat. Then get a 4mm plate size 475 x 390mm. Then drill holes to hole on to the cinq runners, then more holes to bolt to the seat.
