I tried searching "seats" and all I found was threads on removing/replacing, not lowering.

Even though I'm only 6ft. tall, I'd feel a heck of a lot more comfortable with another 1/2 - 1" of headroom.

Can anything be physically done to the seats to lower them a bit?

Thanks

I move mine all the way down as well, and at 6'2" with a sunroof, my headroom is plenty.

theres also a lever in the front

firemanfrank

Thanks guys.

I'm pretty sure my lever is all the way down already, but I'll check again.

I'd still like a bit more headroom though (I have a sunroof too).

Maybe you guys who feel you have enough headroom have the seat tilted back a bit?

I like an upright driving position, and I think that tightens things up a bit ...

CinciSS07

you could be right, my seat is reclined quite a bit

im 6' 2", have it cranked to the floor, all the way back for the legs, and in an upright position....my head scrapes the roof...and when the sunroof is open i find that my hair sticks out a bit......but, it whines, so i keep it around :

pffft...all you short guys...i'm 6'7"...

seat is bottomed out, all the way back, and kicked back and my head still hits the roof...but i love my car so i deal...

just on the left front of the seat. 6' 3" seat all the way back, all the way down, and pretty much upright, with a sunroof. I have room for a couple of fingers between me and the roof. Small fingers though... lol

firemanfrank

Thanks for the replies everybody!

So there's nothing in the frame of the seat bottom that can be removed/cut that will safely lower it some?

What's under there anyway?

originaladrian

im 6" and find tht i have a few inches above me, plenty of room. but i ride with my seat pretty far back.

Im 6'1" too. I have no problem. Have you just try to slide the seat back more. So you can "slouch"?

firemanfrank

I have, and yes ... there's more head room that way.

But I literally CAN NOT drive my car like that! Sitting upright is the only way I feel like I'm in control of the vehicle.

Is there nothing under the stock seat that can be manipulated to make it lower?

How hard is it to take the seat out to take a look at it? (I do not have side air bags)

Just a basic unbolt?

wardzach2007

What?! Your telling me that you cant drive "gangsta" and sit low????


Well unfortuanally there is nothing to lower it. But thats only to my knowledge. There's not a turn knob on your seat?

I'm 5'6" =/ but I have my seat all the way down

wardzach2007

The back all the way down? Or the you found a way to make the seat all the way down?

firemanfrank

Nope!

Driving "gangsta" style makes me feel like I have no control over the vehicle. LOL

And with the seat adjusted all the way down (sitting upright) I barely have 2 fingers of headroom.

Too close ...
