    Just got a 360 with the CF racing seats. I sit so low in the car I can barely see over the dash. Is this the normal intended set up? Never sat in a 360 w/ daytona but cant imagine that you would sit as low.

    Any thoughts on how to sit higher short of sitting on phone book

    you can add plates between the seat and the mounts to raise to your liking.

    Much easier to deal with a seat that's too low than one that's too high!

    You can always trade for some daytonas! Most members would love to have those sport seats. You do sit lower though- which I prefer as I'm a big guy

    Racing seats are absolutely horrible. They look terrible, heavier than daytonas, the carbon fiber will turn an ugly yellow over time, bad for resale, and worst of all you sit so low you can't see over the dash. The only solution is to give them to me. :D

    I'm a little taller and so they are perfect for me, love the snug fit and feeling of being low to the ground like a go kart. But they are a bit low for my wife who also likes to drive the car sometimes. So I asked a similar question on here a while ago. I was advised to get a car seat pad cushion.

    Consider taking a bath towel and fold it into quarters and sit on that. See if the extra 1 inch of lift helps. If it does, then just get a seat pad and sit on that. You can find different ones on Amazon.

    raise it up a bit, and u'll realized it was worth every hassle. I got mine shipped from ebay Germany to Thailand...every process was a pain..but so worth it at the end

    You guys realize that there are really nice Ferrari bath towels on eBay right. Start with these and figure our your next move. Word of caution though the towels have more lint than is conceivable when washed for the first time so consider yourself warned. The towels look good in the cockpit though! ;-)
