dont use adaptor frames as they are always shit and sit high.
use some corbeau subframes, they sit at just the right height, cobra ones tend to sit very low.

I bought the adaptor bars and they also made the seats sit to high, also they cost £20 and my dad still had to redesign them (He's a welder by trade).
I ended up buying the full sub frames and again had to redesign them to fit. Then I found out that the sub frames sat too low, I could just about see over the top of the steering wheel and I'm 5ft 10"
