steering wheel & seat combo
 
hey everyone!
Ive been on the market for a steering wheel & a seat for a year now.
Keep in mind im only 5'4'' lol
so im afraid to get a seat that would be too low and the steering wheel way to close.
I do track events about once a month so a FIA seat would be preferred if possible.

So im wondering who might have the seat & steering combo and short that could share some input with me haha.
Thanks :):driving:

Ps: sorry if there is a threat on this already that ive missed.http://i166.photobucket.com/albums/u...psso3ihmdp.jpg

If nobody has any good suggestions, try searching for products designed for the Asian market (eg, JDM).

I'm 5'7 and am running a Sabelt GT-140 on Bride brackets and rails. The seat sits almost on the floor and it is a challenge for me visibility wise but I manage somehow when im on the track. I added some additional padding and it helped make the ride more comfortable as well as providing me with a bit of a boost.

Just ordered a Sabelt 633mm wheel, a quick release and Works Bell short hub. This combo should'nt change my reach but we'll see when it arrives and i get it installed.

As I understand, the seat rails and brackets will play a big parts on how low the seat will be. Also, I saw Cobra offering different height cushions, so you can customize the seat to your liking, don't know if other seat makers do the same.

I opted against going racing wheel/quick release setup due to the sole fact that I do not have a racing harness and harness bar. Once I throw a half cage into my car & a harness, I'll sell my oem wheel and get the quickrelease & racing wheel combo. Just too dangerous in my opinion unless you have the proper safety equipment.
