Amg GTS Edition one
AMG GTR - bucket seats up/down ?

Hello

Is there any way to move the seat up and down ?

I'm not that tall and I find it hard to see the nose of the car and even the road properly when the seat is that low .

I have the same seats on my GTR like the picture attached :

Thanks

fun ones.
You can raise them up and down on the brackets. Just need some allen keys.

there are risers on the market. Here is one that is either 25mm or 50mm - looks pretty simple but Its made for an OMP racing seat. I haven't seen the underside of the seats but at least there are options.

Some of the other options are as simple as 1/2" spacers at each of the mounting points. I think it's going to depend how much you need to raise the seat to make it work. A little and its not an issue; if you start getting into a full inch, you may need to think of something more costly and custom.

Sorry for reviving an old thread, currently in the same situation as OP. Got my pillows under my *** that works for just sitting in the car though, not taking it on the track.
Ordered the OMP seat bracket spacer, will see how that works, if at all. If not I'm going to have to do something custom smh...

Anyone else maybe ran into the same problem and got a solution ?

Well i ordered both of these, I have no idea if any of them will actually fit as it is, might need some adjustments, but fingers crossed.
If nothing works I guess it's pillows for me

I don't know if you have actually seen how much it makes a difference using only the holes that are on the seat from the factory. It's barely 1cm, that's like 0.4 of an inch. I don't know about you but I need at least (5cm) 2 inches of added height where I would feel I have the best view.

I do not think that solution will work.

I guess we'll see, I'm not 100% sure either but can't wait for the risers to arrive to see if it can be done with minor adjustments if possible. I'll post the update here then.
