Raise my driver side seat?

Not sure if they are still available. Got mine from a Porsche site. Called seat risers. Am 6'1" but short-torso, so they are great.

Found Them! Inspired by the OP gregorytate and with the assistance of the link posted above by WhiteCab, I managed to find the part number. Alas, searching for that part shows that they are no longer available from Porsche or any dealers.
However, thanks to the fact that DC Automotive lists so many of their used parts by number, I was able to find and buy two used ones from them. See #15 here: http://dcautocatalog.com/illustratio...ghlight=242476
They just arrived and look like they will fit perfectly. Awaiting the longer bolts (#18 in the diagram) and I'll post details after installation.
Not sure if/how many they have left, but there may be a chance for others to grab a set.
Cheers,
Ron

^^^You may already be aware but be super careful taking out the seat bolts. They are made of butter and strip easily. Also I used a torque wrench designed for bicycles to get the right torque on the bolts when putting them back. But I guess yours will require different torque because of the length.

I’m glad I’m not the only one finding the seats too low. I have to put a sweatshirt and coat on the seat so I can see over the wiper blades. And I’m 5’9” which isn’t that short. I’m trying to find new replacement seat foam but not having much luck.

This what I'd do, except I'd use 997 seats. They're more comfortable and the styling matches the 993 interior really well. I have 997 hardbacks in my car and you sit at least 1" higher.
