If any info will help, I have Juran racing rails (pretty much the same as NAMS) and a bride Zeta III. I'm 6'3" and my head with a helmet is about 2 inches from my sunroof on my S13.

The best way to get the seat low is to make custom rails.
Do not buy Wedge as their welds suck and the holes on the rails don't even line up.

I had a NAMS rail and a buddy club seat. If you mount the back L brackets upside down you get a cool lean position and you sit SUPER low. Barely any space between the back of the seat and the floor.
I loved it

It's going to be almost impossible to have a really low seat that's still reclinable. Most reclinable seats are bottom-mount, which are shit if you want to sit low.

You need something that uses side-mount rails, like a "reclinable bucket" from Bride (Gias, Stradia... both are $$$) or just get a full bucket and deal with the possible inconvenience of having to move the seat about on the rail until you get it in the right spot.

I've searched the forums for some info on low seats and rails.I guess no one tall and wide ever owned a zenki with a sunroof.I'm 6'3 and 250 with a 40" waist and my shoulders are wide.The racing seats that I've sat in are too tight: sparco,bride,etc.I bought a set of s15 seats and I'm going to fab some rails for the drivers side.All you need is a saw and a welder.I'm tired of scraping my head and squashing my balls.

Custom rail.

I had a corbeau seat, and made my own custom rail. Sat REALLY low compared to the one that came with the seat.

The seat sucked balls tho. Felt like a Coffin Cage, with cloth tossed on it.

The Bride MO sits kinda low (I think) I used it with a Recaro Sport Reclinable, but I had to cut and weld one of the slider over about 4 in to bolt the seat directly to the rail. The seat sits a little high but a sacrifice for a shit ton better seat the the stock leather S-13 LE Seat lol

Reclineable + Low = EXPENSIVE

Reclineable + Cheap = High

I'm 6'4" tall and the only way I could fit with a helmet on for track days was a Sparco Evo XL with custom rails... this gives me 2-3 inches above my helmet with the seat pad removed.

This is as far as we could get the seat down without pounding or cutting the cat hump. The custom rails took two of us the good part of a day to measure/cut/fitment/welding.
