I just stumbled across a reference to 2.5" seat drop brackets for NC Miata in this thread...
Google found them for me here:

I've been lamenting for years that I don't fit in a Miata. This sounds a lot easier than cutting the floor.
Does anyone in metro Atlanta have an NC with these brackets.. that can try sitting in?
What size are you that you don't fit in a Miata? I'm quite broad and a touch over 6' tall and fit just fine in my stock NC with the seat all the way back.
My father in law has owned every generation of Miata. In stock form it simply ain't happening. I'm 6'-5" & 35" inseam.
An extra 2.5" might be enough to get me in one of these. Which would be awesome.
Ah. 6'5" is a different story. I know the guys from Everyday Driver are 6'3" and just barely fit in an NC; I suspect that lowering seat brackets in the NC might do the trick for you.

I'd love to fit in one
If anyone is interested have a set of these brackets, just pay shipping which will likely be USPS small or medium box. I sold my NC before I had a chance to install them. To be more accurate, I tried installing them to find out they needed some tweaking by enlarging the bolt holes, lost interest and sold the car soon after.
Located in SF Bay Area if anyone local would like them. 
I'll take GRM over any Facebook group on earth... but with that said: you might consider asking this question in a local Miata FB group. I know we've got a sizable Miata FB group here in Colorado, with all different flavors and mods. Maybe there's a large Miata group near you that might be able to help?
Just curious, where are you lacking room in an NC? I'm 6'2", with a 34" inseam. I thought legroom in the NC was adequate (legroom was just about perfect with the seat all the way back)- headroom was a bit tighter- my head didn't touch the roof when it was up, but it wasn't far off. For the record, I had a soft top (NC2, cloth seats), but I noted the PRHT loses a bit more headroom vs the soft top. I know this mod will help with headroom, but if you're short on legroom, I'm not sure if it'll help much.
I'm only 5'11, but the 2.5" brackets give me enough room to wear a helmet.

Same for me actually. Just s tick under 6'2" and 34" inseam with thin shoes it was the best fitting sports car I have been in. Drove mine a ton. I couldn't fit with a helmet on but other than that perfection.

I'm in the Sacramento area, I'll take them in no one else as laid claim yet.
Still seeking a test sit in an NC with seat lowering brackets. ATL region.
In reply to carczar_84 :
You're the only one who has shown interest so it's yours. Send me a PM next time you're in the Bay Area and we can coordinate handoff.

Awesome, will do! I work in Dixon so I'll just find a time that works and head a little further west.
Just for more data, I'm 6'3", all torso, inseam is 31. I was not comfortable in an NC with the RHTP. Maybe the soft top is better.
I was looking at these when I was considering an NC. My head hit the roof (6'2") and these would have helped. I was worried about how the seat bottom angle might change though. Maybe it's just me but I'm picky about that.
Never tried them so no help there. I tried a Boxster and went that direction instead.

Do you still have these brackets available? I would be very very grateful if you have them and could send them to me!
Cheers,

Anybody know if these would work in an rx8?
