I'm using the stock seats out of my 99 parts car for my 97 street/track car. It's a 6 way adjustable seat. For some reason it sits way high in its lowest position. Now something odd is the rear switch that controls the height of the rear of the seat works in reverse. Up is down, down is up.

To my untrained eye, I don't see anything that jumps out at me.

That last pic is in the full up position.

Any ideas? I'm thinking someone took it apart and didn't put it back together correctly.

If you are willing to give up power, you can use the short legs from the bracket you have and get a passenger bracket, drill the rivets out of the legs on it and weld on the driver side shorties. You only have to do it on the rear and it will give you an inch or so drop. Since it is on the back, it keeps you a little more put. If you want to tweak it you can put a couple washers in the even it out.

I don't want to do that because I know something is wrong with this one.l causing it to sit very high. I used to have stock seats and they sat low enough for me.

Thanks,
Steve
