Topic: Question about effective seat butt height...
Our cars are short, and we have a couple tallish drivers. Seat height where your butt goes is a big deal so that we don't push the helmet out past the roof bars according to the rulebook. (Layback angle also seems to play a big role, but that's another question.)
So my question is about whether I can optimize the fit based on seat choice. Currently I'm looking for either a Kirkey series 65 (fixed aluminum flat bottom with a pad), or possibly a Corbeau Forza (unfixed bottom with a pad riding on springy wires...see pic below).
So, does anyone know whether the effective height at which your butt rides differs much between these two options? Which one would sit higher? If neither of these is the lowest, what other seat should I consider?
