Thread: Attn: Spec V Seat owners

I recently installed the G20 seats in my car and they sit really high. I didn't want to hack em up to shorten em and was wondering if the guys with the Spec V seats can enlighten me on if they sit higher than the stock seats or are they the same as the B14 ones? Got pics TYIA

The seat bottoms on the SpecV seats are adjustable. Soooo they'll sit where ever you want them, and it also depends on how you modify the brackets to make them fit.

will the nx seat rails fit on the G20 seats? if so they drop the seats down about an inch

yeah I seat higher than it was with the stock seats, the bottom of the spec V seats is bigger that the stock ones.

If you want to seat lower then youre going to have to modify the seat rails.

Naw I really don't wanna get into all of that. I guess I'll start searching for some nice race seats.

You're still gonna have to deal with seat rails if you get race seats.

Nobody makes direct drop ins

Wedge engeineering.

Thanks NismoKing

Yes, sort of....you'll need the NX seat pan, as well, though. The reason for this is the seat pan mounts are different between the G20 and NX.

There's two ways of doing it. The first way (easiest) is to pull the lower cushion off the G20 seat pan and use the NX seat pan in it's place The issue with doing it this way is the thigh bolsters on the NX metal pan are shorter than the G20's bolsters. In other words, the side support for the cushion will suck.

The second way is to use the G20 metal pan and graft the pan mounts from the NX pan to it (ie. use sheet metal screws or new tack welds). The NX's are side mounts, as opposed to the G20's bottom mounts. Ie. the NX seat mounts between the rails and the G20 mounts on top of it's rails, hence, why the NX seat sits lower. There are 16 tack welds per seat that will need to be drill out to remove the NX mounts. Also all of the hog rings need to be undone to swap the cushions, as well. Those 2 things are the most difficult part about the swap. The seat backs are interchangable on either rail, 4 bolts/seat....easy.

There will be a larger gap where the back meets the bottom cushion when going with G20 seats on NX rails, however. It does put the headrest in the right spot for taller drivers, though.
