Default Drag seats?

Trying to decide on some drag seats, most list very similar width and height, Could some of you post pics of what you have and how they were mounted? I don't want something that has me with my head in the roof.

If you are real tall, you might want to just make one.
I'm 6' 2" and didn't like the plastic seats, head was above bars.

My slow car we bought the cheapest alum I could find, and made a L bracket for it mounted directly to the floor, and changed the angle a little, came out great.

Fast car, it's just a flat piece of tin bent in the middle with a round tube frame.

Good luck.

Im to short and could not go with a Kirky(maybe if the steering wheel was removeable). I went to Corbeau Clubman and an adj. base, better looking(to me) and more comfortable. It probably will weigh the same as a stock seat

I read a post on here by madman to look at the jaz aluminum seats, that this is what he uses because the kirkeys are too tall.

Yeah I saw that post too, I then looked at the dimensions of both seats and the Kirkey economy and the JAZ are the same height, The Pro Street Kirkey's are 1.5" Taller. I'm thinking about getting Kirkey's and just cutting the top off a little. I figure if I lean the seat back a little more how I like it, it will appear shorter as well.
