Just wondering. I can't stand the power driver's seat in my hardtop '94 anymore. My helmet constantly rubs the headliner. I'd like to lower the seat about two inches...I'm thinking with some custom brackets it might be possible.

I didn't actually do a before/after measurement, but I think my Corbeau A4s sit about 1/2" higher than the lowest my power seats would go. This doesn't create any issues for me, but then I'm only 5'9". Plus, since my wife is only 5'1", this is about the best compromise I can get since she drives the car too (I still may need to get some kind of bottom insert for her to raise her up some). Of course, I'm also thinking of putting some spacers on the front mounts to tilt the seat a little, which would also help with clearance a little since I'll be sitting back at a larger angle.
