Cybul MX-5 ND Seat Lowering Kit: Which Brackets Go On The Driver And Passenger Side?
A customer opened a Cybul MX-5 ND seat lowering kit, found two sets of brackets marked LH IN and LH OUT, and asked whether both were passenger side parts or whether the kit doesn't fit the Mk3 ND. On fitment, the ND is the Mk4, the 2015-on car, and the Cybul kit is made for it. Ordering by side is straightforward too. What the markings mean is the one thing our listing doesn't tell us.

The kit is sold as RHD Driver Side or RHD Passenger Side, and our listing says fitting both seats takes the appropriate kit for each side.
- The ND is the Mk4, the 2015-on MX-5. The Mk3 is the NC, which this kit does not list
- The listing offers RHD Driver Side and RHD Passenger Side, at £138 for each
- Lowering both seats means one kit of each side
- Our listing does not explain the LH IN and LH OUT markings, so send us a photo and we will check
Mk3 or ND: which car is the kit for?
The ND is the Mk4 MX-5, the 2015-on car. Our listings use both names for it, and the Cybul kit is listed for the Mazda MX5 MK4 and the MX5 ND. The Mk3 is the NC, which came before it, so if your car is a 2015-on MX-5 you’re in the right place whichever name you use.
The kit lowers the original ND seat by 30mm. Cybul list it for the original regular seat and the Recaro seat, with fore and aft adjustment kept and no cutting of the seat frame. It’s fitting hardware for the seat you already have, so your own seat goes back in.
If the car in front of you is an NC, the Mk3, this is the wrong kit. Our guide to MX-5 seat lowering kits covers the NC options from Jass Performance. Tell us the generation and we’ll point you at the right one.
How the kit is sold: one side per kit
The Cybul Mazda MX-5 Mk4 (ND) Stock Seat Lowering Kit is a variable listing with one option to choose, the sport seat position. The two choices are RHD Driver Side and RHD Passenger Side, and each is £138. The listing says to choose the correct side, and that fitting both seats requires the appropriate kit for each side.
Two sets of brackets from one order doesn’t mean you’ve got the wrong part. If you ordered a kit for each seat, that’s exactly what should turn up. The listing doesn’t describe the LH IN and LH OUT markings at all, though, so we can’t tell you from it how they divide up inside a kit.
- £138 inc VAT per side

From £138.00 Incl. VATPayPal CreditSelect options This product has multiple variants. The options may be chosen on the product page
Product cards show prices excluding VAT. Prices in the text include VAT.
Both options on the listing are labelled RHD, so they are written for a right hand drive car, and if you have a left hand drive ND you should ask us before ordering and not assume the sides swap over.
How to order for one seat or both
| Your plan | Option to choose | Kits | Cost inc VAT |
|---|---|---|---|
| Lower the driver seat only | RHD Driver Side | 1 | £138 |
| Lower the passenger seat only | RHD Passenger Side | 1 | £138 |
| Lower both seats | One of each side | 2 | £276 |
Prices are read from the live listing and include VAT. Two kits at £138 make £276.
Order the two sides as two separate lines, or as two of the one listing with a different option chosen for each. Don’t order two of the same side and hope the parts swap. If you’ve already got two kits and aren’t sure which is which, that’s the photo we asked for above.
Garreth’s tip is to lower the driver seat first and live with it for a few weeks. Lowering both at once is Cameron’s fitting view, because a passenger sitting 30mm higher than the driver tends to notice. It’s your call, and either way each seat takes its own kit.
Our supplied Cybul kits don’t come with printed assembly instructions, and we don’t have an instruction sheet to send for this one. If a step is unclear, tell us the exact kit and the step, and we’ll check the technical information we have. For questions as you go, drop us an email or click to open a chat.
Cybul or Jass Performance for the ND
We also list two ND seat lowering products from Jass Performance, sold the same way as the Cybul kit: RHD Driver Side or RHD Passenger Side, one per seat.

Common questions
Does the Cybul kit fit a Mk3 MX-5?
The kit is listed for the Mazda MX-5 Mk4 and the ND, the 2015-on car. The Mk3 is the NC, and this kit is not listed for it. Send us your registration and we will confirm your generation.
Are LH IN and LH OUT both passenger side parts?
Our listing does not explain these markings, so we cannot say yes or no from it. Send us a photo of both brackets and your order details and we will check with Cybul.
How many kits do I need to lower both seats?
Two, one RHD Driver Side and one RHD Passenger Side. The listing says fitting both seats requires the appropriate kit for each side. Two kits come to £276 inc VAT.
How far does the Cybul kit lower the seat?
The listing gives 30mm for the original regular or Recaro ND seat.
Do I lose the seat adjustment?
Cybul list fore and aft position adjustment as kept, and fitting without cutting the seat frame.
Does the kit come with fitting instructions?
No. Our supplied Cybul kits have no printed assembly instructions and we have no instruction sheet to send. Tell us the exact kit and the step you are unsure about and we will check the technical information we have.
Can I get a kit for a left hand drive ND?
Both options on the listing are labelled RHD. Ask us before ordering for an LHD car.
What we would buy
Garreth
Garreth's top tip
For a stock ND seat I would take the Cybul kit at £138 a side, driver side first. It keeps the seat adjustment and drops you 30mm without cutting anything.
If you want a bigger drop, look at the Jass fixed adapters at 2.2 inch, from £154.99.
Cameron
Cameron's fitting view
Don't go by the markings alone. If you've got brackets marked LH IN and LH OUT and you're unsure, send me a photo and I'll check them against Cybul before you fit anything.
I'd lower both seats in one go so they sit level. Starting with the driver seat is a fair way to do it too, as long as each seat gets its own side kit.
Unsure which brackets you have?
Send us a photo of both brackets with the markings showing, plus your order details. If you ring, Cally, our digital receptionist, takes your details. Cameron then comes back to you with the answer before you fit anything.
