I'm in the same boat as you.

Was thinking some rzr seat or those twisted stitch seats. Been thinking about Refabbing the front of the box to allow the seat to move back some.

I bought some lowered seat bases with my knew seats and was able to move my seats back about a 1 1/2 it had differnt holes that allowed you to install the base in a forward postion or further back. Hope this helps some.

I made my own lower seat bases. It was easy. Just use the stock ones as a template the drill the holes and you can cut the steel with a thin cutting wheel on a 4" angle grinder.

I'll post some pic's tomorrow

I've heard that you'll lose a little leg room with the RZR seats. Not a big deal for me cause I'm vertically challenged but you'll want to keep that in mind if you go that route. I have some RZR seats coming in the next week or so and I'll let you know.

Thats good to know, yeah let me know if you do lose leg room, im watching some rzr seats on craigslist up here for 225.

$225 is too much. I found 4 brand new seats for $150 and another deal that fell through due to shipping cost for 4 seats for $80....yes four seats for $80 but shipping from Cali to Maine was $220. I found they are typically going for $50 per seat.

Thats good to know. They just dont seem to pop up much around here, so i didnt know how much they are worth.
