Default Race seats for 4th gen F body

I bought pro cars from Summit along with the necessary sliders and adapters. Installed drivers side first.seat is so high im looking out the top half of the windshield and my helmet wont even clear the roof. I can drill a couple holes in the factory mounts and make them work, but still a little too high and wont slide back very far... looking for suggestions..thanks

Are you the only on driving? We mounted Kirkey seats directly to the floor using stock floor studs, My son is tall,worked perfectly.

My son will drive it too hes couple inches taller than me.
After a lot of research on this.. i have decided to have the factory seat refurbished and I'll put it back in.

I've done quite a few f body seat installs , making my own , using Kirkys mounts . always a challenge for a tall driver .
Racecraft makes an excellent kit that has the proper compensations for the floor and still allows a low setting for a tall driver .
All I use anymore.

Adger , I've got projects lined up into almost the end of 2021 . A early ProStock Clone would be interesting , but I've got way too many projects cooking to take on something like that.
