I don't use my car for cruising or posing, so it gets driven hard.
Take a look at any competition car and you'll find it's driver sitting lower not higher. This is done partially to lower the centre of gravity, but also it tends to align the drivers natural roll center with the cars.
This mod cost FAR less than the Performance seats (which I think are overpriced) AND retains the original look with regards to the seats and their functionality (and I wanted to retain the heated seats for winter !)  |
Just for the record, you can get the Performance Seats with heating. Plus, I guess it was Jezzer in his thread about the Performance Seat install warning everyone about installing them in "their lowest position" so maybe they are a bit lower than the standart seats? My car for instance is without power seat option (standart seats) and the seats are around 3 cm. lower than power seats but still not particularly low, I admit that, could be an issue for a taller guy.
