  • Page 2: Introduc.on

    GENERAL INFORMATION Introduc.on Thank you for choosing to purchase the JCR Developments SuperLow Seat Frame. As you are well aware, the standard non-adjustable sea.ng posi.on greatly compromises an otherwise excellent car. It was our feeling that developing a solu.on for the op.onal RECARO shell seat would resolve this major flaw. ANer an extensive design, development and tes.ng programme, we are excited to be able to finally release the finished product. The final product has been extensively tested on road and track, comple.ng several thousand miles of durability tes.ng, including over 200 miles on the Nürburgring Nordschleife. We are confident that the new frames offer an excellent replacement to the standard Ford component mee.ng FIA safety standards, matching the OEM s.ffness and exceeding the adjustability using genuine RECARO seat runners.
