Seat Height Adjust

[dswartz]

Can I use spacers to raise the seats about an inch in my 98 Coupe?

I don't think so. I mean you can add a spacer on the two mounting points behind the seat as the bolts go down, vertically. But the front mounts go into a crossbar and the bolts go in horizontally. Well not true 90 degrees as there is a slight angle down but I hope you get the idea. You could get a bracket custom made for each side that might help you accommodate but I think you would be giving up a lot safety not having the seat bolted directly to the chassis. Probably easier to take your seat to a good upholstery shop and have them add an inch of height to the seat bottom.

That was my fear in looking at videos that showed seat removal and the attached page from the Service Manual, I believe you are correct. While I can install spacers on the rear of the seat, I can't on the front because of the angle. I guess $20 seat cushions are my best option.
