BINGO!. This what mine evolved around. The pass. seat, i made the butt part tilted up. This way it feels like it cups you. I feel it makes the passanger feel safer. The drivers side, i made it sit more level but not to level. I want to feel like i can see out of the windsheild. I didn't want a huge cup for the drivers side b/c that would be alot on my thighs working the clutch. probably rub it raw lol.

Sorry for the delay of the final pictures of the right side. BOTH seats sit straight, mounted on the stock fc mounting points, as stated earlier the lower seat cushion seats at the same height as the stock fc seating position. The owner of the FC is loving the new feel of the seats! BTW the owner came up on a killer deal from my seats being they have no tears stains from my 07 rx8 with 15k miles.

We did this on the kid's vert as well. We havent gotten around to powering the driver's side seat yet since we set it when we installed it and it fits him just fine. I have the wiring diagrams and a Painless WeatherPak connector to do it. Just havent gotten around to it.
As seen in gregs22's picts, the passenger seat does sit higher. If you were doing a 10/10s install you'd have to section at least half an inch out of the passenger seat's left side frame. I'm 5'10" with a 30" inseam and my hair brushes against the headliner just enough to annoy me. Might be more room in a coupe and the passenger seat is for girls anyway.

Thats EXACTLY why i said what i said^^^^. im 6'1 if i was on the pass. side i would never be able to ride with the targa section in. My pass. seat is about 3inches lower than the drivers seat now . when i set in the seat my neck is about were the top of the door is. . Hows that suspension doing?
