Recaro seats NOT height adjustable?
« on: June 15, 2009, 01:23:26 PM »
Hey all,

I traded my GTS in for an RA this weekend. Firstly: WOW what a difference, a totally different driving experience - couldn't be happier. Secondly: the Recaro seats are incredible, but I haven't seen a section in the manual to adjust the height specifically on the Recaros and there doesn't seem to be a lever to do so based on my inspection... Not a big deal for me because I'm 6'5", the seat is perfect as is, but my GF is pretty short and this is rather annoying for her (not that she drives it/will drive it much, heh).

Am I crazy or is there some stupendously obvious way to adjust 'em?

Cheers,
Ted

I've read a how-to on EvoM to raise the seat by using some kind of spacers.

A quick follow-up, I found that how-to that JROX mentioned for raising the recaros:
