Jass Performance Mazda MX5 NC MK3 Lowering Adapters (Non-Height Adjustable Seats)
The Mazda MX5 MK3 is roomier than any other of the models but offers similar or even less space than them. The good news is that, by replacing just one bracket a potential of 2.5″ drop of the seat rail is possible.
However, the challenge to Jass Performance turned into immediate solution(s). I am happy to offer now two versions – offering 1″ and 2.5″ effective drop. Both solutions share the following features:
- Both options preserve the full-seat travel
- Lowest possible position guaranteed with OEM rails
- The lowering brackets are computer stress calculated for real-life crash situations
- Weight optimised
- Ergonomic seating position considered
The 1″ drop version will provide most drivers with a more comfortable seating position and allow the tallest drivers to be able to drive the car. It will also allow average-height drivers to fit in the car with a helmet. This drop will allow small drivers to be able to drive the car as well – important if you are sharing a car with the family. The installation of the 1″ drop version requires drilling a hole into the OEM seat bracket.
The 2.5″ version offers the full possible lowering potential and brings the headroom to 97.6cm. Not many aftermarket seats (of any at all) will go below this height on slider rails. Consider this if you are average height and planning to race the car or just above 6 feet (184cm) and want to have a normal overview of the instruments and road ahead. The installation involves drilling a hole (removing the OEM bracket) and cutting the rails to size.
All installation hardware is provided, as well as the installation manual.
Sold as full kit per side (seat). This leaves the freedom to lower both seats with different heights or just swap when needed.
