Default 99 PRELUDE

I picked up a 99 lude with 27,000 miles for a daily driver but after having the car for a while I realized that the car is very very tiny inside. I need more head room. I lowered the seat as far as it will go with the manual adjustment but I still need about an inch or so more. Does anyone know any tricks to get the seat lower or has anyone cut and welded the seat rail to lower the seat? Any help, comments, and suggestions will be appreciated!!

Thanks

P.S Anyone who complains that S has little head room should spend 7 hours in a
99 lude

You must be pretty tall then. I haven't heard of anyone having lack of headroom in a prelude unless they have a racing helmet on. As far as lowering the seat: I haven't heard of any rail mods that could lower it, but swapping in S2k seats will drop you a couple of inches.

There are companies that make lower seat rails. Many people use these when they purchase race seats. I have no idea if said rails will fit on OEM seats but you may want to email/pm some sales guys on here and see if they have anything that'll fit
