Ken, how low are your front seat cushions compared to the OEM seats?



Thanks,

Colin,

Well I am not sure as the factory seats have been out for years. What I can do is measure from the floor pan up to the cushion and give you that. By feel they do set higher than the OEM and that was the biggest challenge. Some compromise had to happen between where they felt the best to me vs. how high I am going to have to put the rear brackets to ensure unimpeded travel and adjustability. Both front seats are still out of the car from the rear conversion but as soon as I get the rear brackets in place and I can give you good hard measurment I will do that.

Nah, no need to do that. I'm fitting the seats already. I'm trying to get them as low as possible. The biggest challenge is the rear brackets. There's kind of a hump in the floor in the middle so if I put them all the way down the the seat motors will hit the carpet when I move the seat forward.

Yours look great. If I do decide to do the rears I'm sure I'll be calling on you for advice!
