Seat options for the answer

I'm getting ready to take my 95 miata to my first track day. I knew I had to do some work to pass the broomstick test, but actually sat down and got some measurements tonight and to my dismay I need to go down 2.75 inches to pass! I assumed I could do a foamectormy prior to measuring, and was blown away on how much I needed to go down (I'm only 5'11").

I know flyin miata has a great list of seats that fit, but that doesn't tell me if I can get the needed lowering. what are my options to get almost 3 inches lower than I currently am at?> what seats/rails can I count on to get me clearance?

Sparco Sprint and PCI brackets get pretty low.

Bride Low Max and Garagestar brackets are low too.

I run Cobra Monaco Pros and PCI V1 brackets. I can pass a broomstick but i'm 2" shorter than you, setup isn't quite as low as i'd like.

Anyone else in the 5'11" range with a setup they know works?

I have the hard dog hardtop rollbar

We just dealt with something similar in our chump car. One of my co-driver's head was hitting the roll cage bar. We ended up having to use an aluminum seat and bolt it directly to the floor of the car - no brackets at all. We had to cut out the 2 rear humps where the factory seat mounts to get the floor surface flat. Its low, but he fits now.

how tall is he?

I had to do the same thing to my SpecMiata and I'm 5'10", 30" inseam.

Add some padding to the roll bar and slouch down for the test. See, all done!

Not that tall, like 5'11" ish. We were dealing with the horizontal bar that connects the front and rear hoop, so likely a little lower than the roll bar hoop you're trying to get under.
