Compatibility Notes & FAQ
- Model Fitment: Compatible with all MX5 NC (MK3) seats that have height adjustment base (including pre-facelift adjustable seats).
- Non-Height Adjustable Seats: These brackets will not go lower than the factory position of early NC (Non-Height Adjustable) seats, as the geometry is different.
- Defoaming: Defoaming the seat cushion (estimated 1.5cm additional drop) is possible but not required for the 4cm drop.
- Dual Seat Installation: If lowering both seats, the passenger side (non-height adjustable) requires the NON height adjustable version of the brackets. Recommended is the moderate 1" drop version for the passenger side.

Q&A:
Q:Being height adjustable, would they go lower than the Non Height Adjustable (early NC) seats?
A:No. The early seats allow for lower seating position. The geometry of these seats does not allow lower position as the Non Height Adjustable ones.
Q: Will they fit LHD (RHD) MX5 NC?
A: The Height Adjustable Seats are side coded. You need to order the LHD/RHD specific version.
Q: My car has prefacelift adjustable height seats - will they fit?
A: They will fit seats with height adjustment.
Q: I want to lower both seats in my NCFL, should I order two sets of those brackets?
A: No! These are just for the height adjustable seat and this is usually just the driver side. Means - you need to order NON height adjustable version for the passenger side. As the 3" drop is fairly low, I recommend going for the moderate 1" drop in this case.
