Default Lowered OEM Seats

Does anyone here have OEM seats on lowered rails? I suspect it would be a lot more comfortable to be sitting about 1 1/2" lower. If anyone here has a setup like this and wouldn't mind me having a test sit in them, I would really appreciate it!

I remember looking into this few months back. Backyard Special seems to be the only ones that offer lower seat rails for oem seats, but at a ridiculous price. $350 per side

Yeah, that's what I've been seeing as well. If I cave and go with the BYS rail, the plan is to just pick up one side and continue dating short girls.

I was thinking of doing the same thing. I could use a little more room.

I have them, I also have my seat cushions cut out and removeable. Send me a PM and you can stop by and check them out.

^^^^^^^^^
How tall are you? Does it give you a more comfortable feel?

Hrmmmm....it looks like the BYS rails lower the seat bottom but not the back, effectively raising the lumbar support in the process. This method is free and would accomplish the same thing. Thinking about trying it out

I am very interested in this... Coming in at 6'9" and having a 38" inseam... I need all the room I can get. I usually drive in sox so I can stick my feet behind the pedals at times
