Getting low! with Miata seats

What do they have for seat glides on the bottom, and do those glides elevate the whole seat up 3"-4"?

If so, remove the glides and install a pair of these from Speedway Motors (made for Hot Rods but they worked very well with my new seats).

They get the seat bottoms about 1-1/8" up off the floor....about as low as you're gonna get.

BTW:  Those glides are pretty similar to what Porsche used on my old 914 seats.

Gordon, have you ever seen these with a tilt mechanism?  I mean one that can allow the front thigh to be supported.  Ray

The only thing that would come close to that is (a.) 8-way power seats (I've heard that Volvo seats will fit an IM or Beck, not a VS/CMC) or:

(b.) Using the glide/tilt mechanism from a 914, which tilts the entire seat as a unit to provide back recline while elevating the forward seat lip at the same time (kind-of like a rocking chair with specific tilt locations).

Bend the mounting tabs on the seat rails where the bolts go at a 45 degree angle.  Weld in L shaped angle iron so its a pyramid shape, drill and tap to accept bolts before welding in place.  Thats for the front.  The rear the angle iron is mounted as an upside down L

One way to get a lower seat is to perform a 'foamectomy'.

This has been done by a number of Miata owners who wanted to lower their seat.

Here's a link to the procedure:
