Seat height
Is there any way to maximize head room in my 993? I am open to any and all possibilities. I have a sun-roof of course.
My car has what I believe are the standard seats, the driver's side has the powered adjustablity (awkward phrase but y'all get it I bet).
Thanks in advance.

Have an upholstery shop remove some seat padding. Put some spacers under the front allen bolts (find longer allen bolts) to tilt the seat back a bit. I had to to remove padding and do the tilt with my GT3 seats.

No, that bracket/slider combo is for the GT3 seats. I'm not aware of anything you can do with stock seats to provided more headroom short of taking out some of the padding.

I had to put 1 inch spacer blocks to raise the seats to my prefered height. I am 5'8" and like sitting high.
You must be a giant if you have had the padding taken out of the seat and still find it too high.

Ah! Now that is more like it. Jeff...is it a simple DIY even for someone who is fairly inept at wrenching? Is the car sent from the factory with the seat in the _______rail-holes (please fill in the blank)?
Thanks in advance for the info.

I am Only 5`8. Can my driver seat height be raised?
Hi Everyone,
I am only 5`8 and really would like to sit a bit higher-up then my power seat allows. Is there a simple way of raising my seat one or two inches.?
As always thanks everyone

The rear most mounting holes will get you about an inch of additional headroom and seat travel. However, if wearing a helmet is the issue, you will likely need to do more than this simple fix. I went to after market seats bolted directly to the floor, which gives me about 1/4 inch of clearance with my helmet on.
