Raising Recaro Seats

I relitivly short. 5'4" , and the Recaro are nice, they could be a little higher.. i did a search and all I got was "use spacers" I guessed that. anyone have an idea what spacers would be, just washers, with longer bolts?

any pictures, or just sugestions.

6'2 and I'm happy with the stock height. I've seen people use foam pads though.

Eaton, what about using an 'Orthopedic Booster Seat Cushion' (lots of little old ladies use 'em) - it'd make those long drives you do on these ****ty Michigan roads a bit easier on your backside too.

As you know, I'm not much taller/larger than you - and I find that the seat height is perfect!

My only wish is that we could get the JDM seats - sliding from side-to-side in the US-market McDonald's-butt Recaros gets pretty damn annoying.

After all, it's not a Beemer...

it's more driving style.. when "crusing" I tend to have the seats leaned back a little. NOT GETTO style but more back..

my car! my seat adjustments.

hehe..
