Seat height
My 2024 Carrerra S has standard seats. At their maximum height they are a little low for me. From the floor to the top of the seat (squad) it measures 8.5 inches. I'm wondering if the 14-way or 18-way power seats raise a little higher. It would be greatly appreciated if someone out there could measure the maximum height setting of their seats in 14 or 18 way.
Two dealers in my area do not have any in stock so they cannot measure for me.

The 18 day does indeed raise up by a few inches. At the base height, it was too low for me but I can get it very comfortable now. I can measure tomorrow.

Perhaps you missed my reply in your other thread on this topic but as I had mentioned the seat height adjustment of the 14 way and 18 way are the same as the 4 ways. I have the 18 ways and here is a pic (8 1/2" at the front from the floor). This pic is with the front seat inclination at its lowest as that would be where yours is since you do not have that adjustment that the 18 ways provide. The inclination adjustment raises the angle of the front of the seat providing a higher angle of leg support. This does not however raise the person sitting up any higher. To sit higher then the max raised position you will need to add a little seat pad / cushion. I bet you could have Exclusive Option in Northern CA make you a custom fit one to match your seat material and desired specs. Hope this is of help.

With the 4-way's you can adjust the rear of the seat up and down but not the front.
To get a comfortable seat angle for me I had to lower the rear all the way down which made the seat feel to low.
Made sure to spec 14-ways in the 992!
