So I have had my s14 for over 4 years now and the headroom is really starting to get to me.. I wish I had no sunroof but I am not about to put some ghetto plug in there and try to gain room up top. This is a daily driver, mostly stock car and that is how I kinda wanna keep it.
With that being said, the only way that I have seen to gain room is to cut the cat hump out. I think I will eventually do this, but for the time being I have something that may work to just get the back of the seat down slightly, even .5" will help in my case.

Has anyone cut the stock brackets off at the back and made new brackets that sit higher to the frame? Looks simple enough.. I am going to get a spare rail and cut the end pieces off and weld some plate metal on and get the rear of the seat as low as I can.
Any other advice? The front is obviously as low as it can go without cutting out the cat hump.
My wait size is too large for a side mount rail (36") unless I make some kind of custom bracket and find a seat that may or may not fit.. and then I will also have issues using stock seat belts. I dont need fucking harnesses for a daily
