Lower seats?
« on: February 28, 2008, 01:47:54 AM »

Hey guys.  Does anyone know of any seats that will fit my 98 avenger ES that sit lower that the ones I have?  I am quite tall and I feel like I sit too high. Mine are power, not sure if that has anything to do with it.  My head is way too close to the roof.  Any info would be appreciated.

Yes, I know the seats adjust, I just wish they would adjust lower. I'm only 5'10" or 5'11".  I also have the steering wheel at it's highest setting and I have trouble getting my legs under it when getting in and out. Not saying that there's not enough room, but it would be more comfortable if the seats were lower. I guess I'm used to the way my '86 Chrysler Laser used to ride.

I am 6' I have no problems.  You should be able to push the power seat button down and it should go down.

Oh, it does go down, but I have the seat in the lowest position and in the rear most setting and I still could use another couple inches lower to be comfortable. Like I said, maybe it's just what I'm used to.  Seems like I could find some seats that bolt up that sit lower though.  Didn't know if maybe the manual ones could considering there's no motors to get in the way.

The manual seats might go a little bit lower because they don't have the motor underneath... I seem like I sit lower in my Eclipse... and it has the manual seats.

Yeah...I just wanted to add that I have about two fingers worth of space above my head when sitting up straight with the seat all the way down.  With it all the way back I can reach the pedals comfortably.  Seems like I should have some more range.  Maybe there is something wrong?

What do you concider short then???  Huh wow.. I can't see how you have a problem.. did you check if theres a brick under your seat from letting it go down all the way..  Cheesy ... cuz you should have no problems with the roof height. your my height.. I have tons of space to spare.

95/2000 venge bring seats will bolt in as well as 95/99 eclipse talon ones ...

Some racing seats will be lower and you can cut the brackers to lower then more...

Thanks Bad Venge.  I'll have to see what I can find in maybe a manual stock seat.  Every time I get in and out and fight with getting my legs under the steering wheel, I curse it.   Apparrently I am the only one with this problem.
