Is it possible
to make the seat sit lower to the floor in an '03 Cobra? My seats in this car sit atleast 2" higher than my old '98 GT, and it would be much more comfortable if I could drop them about an inch or two while keeping my power driver's seat. Also, both seats need to sit at the same height (it would look uber-ghetto with one seat a couple inches lower than the other).

Re: Is it possible
I think you may be experiencing the same thing I did.
When I installed the new seat skins and foam that I got from Whit,I felt like I was sitting higher.Probably the fact foam had not beren broken in,but I can feel and see a difference in the seat configuration. It may be that the seats were designed a bit different from'98 to your year model. Other than shaving down the bracket at the floor I have no idea how you could lower the seat.

Re: Is it possible
The seat rails from 99+ were different.

Re: Is it possible
Have you adjusted them as far down as you can with the controls. I almost cant see over the dash with the seat all the way down

Re: Is it possible
yeah the 01-up cobra seats sit way to high but I think it has more to do with the ass part of the seat being overall taller than anything to do with the seat track. I doubt you will be able to Joseph but it is definitely worth a try

Re: Is it possible
In my experience. Trying to get a seat to do anything it isn't designed to do hasn't worked so far.

Re: Is it possible
just a thought, we have shaved the foam in motorcycle seats to lower the ride hieight. it may be possible a upholtery shop could do this.
