Ok so I was wondering about my eye level height with Buddy Club super low seat rails! I have a big concern before installing them, I'm only 5"6 or 5"7 and I'm wondering would I be able to even see over the steering wheel lol? Please gimme a heads up before I install them, have Bride reclining seats btw! :confused:

You will be able to see just fine.
Even tho they claim to be "super low" your head will hit on the ceiling with a helmet on.

Agree with the above, my buddy club "super low down" rails are anything but. You should be fine.

You shouldn't be able to see over the dash anyways, mount the seat to the floor and only look out the side windows.

Yeah, I'm 5'9" and sat way too high with buddy club rails, using the lowest mounting positions front and back. I have a Sparco Corsa seat, and had to take the butt padding out so I wouldn't be sitting too high.

If you have individual side mount's that are in the L shape rather than the one piece design or the 7 shaped individuals flip the back bracket to point downwards rather than upwards and you can get the seat even lower if need be.

Good thing I bought the recliners I thought this was gonna happen to me but I'm fine now. I thought I wouldn't see over the dash lol.

One key thing people dont realise when mounting bucket seats is the heigh positions on side mount rails. Using the lowest position on the front and back mounts will end up sitting higher than choosing a taller mount on the front, effectively leaning the bucket seat back, and gaining more headroom. Or in the case of the better rails with individual L brackets, mounting the rear brackets underneath the rail itself for maximum low.
