In super mod are you allowed to lower the dash a little?

You don't even need a dash so it shouldn't be a problem, but I would check with your local club, or ARMA director.

I have a question on supermod seat. I know the rules say it can be a go kart seat. They made of plastic. What a aluminum racing seat?

It would protect you from chain and rollover better.

Have you ever sat in one of these seats? They tend to hold you in if it's fitted properly. Without a roll bar above your head this seat in my opinion would be dangerous and would cause body harm. With the seat holding you in if you were to flip or roll your upper body will really take severe damage. Even without the seat belts the seats really hold you by your rib cage area.

In WOO, an aluminum seat like that would be legal if it didn't stick up past the rear fenders. Otherwise an aluminum seat sticking up that high would be a weapon in the event of a roll over.
 The advantage of the plastic seat is that they are more forgiving and bend pretty easily. We highly recommend the plastic seat over everything.
