    My understanding is that they need to be taken out of the car, and then adjusted, then put back in? Most owners have that done upon delivery. Or you could add an alcantara pillow? :)

    I've never adjusted mine but have taken them out a couple of times for various jobs.

    I can't say I've noticed adjust-ability on them (but I wasn't looking). Off-hand I guess one could raise them by placing spacers under the rails but one would need to replace the standard bolts with extended ones if you wanted to do that.

    Didn't see any upward adjustment on mine. Can do spacers as FerrariDublin suggests.. I'd do a heated pillow, you know just for comfort. :)

    I sat very comfortably on a normal 360 seat, but at the end I bought this one (last week) in which I will need to adjust it upward somehow.

    Yes, right now I am putting a pillow beneath :p

    Then you certainly don't want to buy my Esprit. That is almost as tight as my FD RX-7. :(

    I'm 6'6'' and the race seats give me a lot of room. I even have an extra 1'' of backward moving position on the rails I don't use, but what's best is they are low enough my legs fit comfortable under the wheel. I can see how the driving position could be too low for someone significantly shorter with the race seats.

    I love those seats. Where is the best place to buy race seats?

    On my 16M I had to put 1" aluminum spacer blocks under the seat tracks with longer bolts.

    Yeh, the Daytona seats are much higher than the stock race seats.
