Short driver tips?
 

So I bought the car of my dreams (for now) thinking that I would just have to adjust the seat a bit to be able to see comfortably out of all the windows. When I took my test drive, everything seemed OK but maybe I was stretching to look a bit and didn't notice. After 2 months of driving with my sweater under my rear as a pseudo seat cushion, I need to find a better alternative. I'd rather not give up my Z since I worked so hard to get it. I've gotten blind spot mirrors to help me out but that damn drivers side mirror blocks my view at intersections. I need a way to boost my seat about an inch to an inch and a half and maybe even something to help me sit further away from the steering wheel. I am 4 ft 10in tall. Feel free to make jokes at my expense if needed!

I think cushions are your best option. Have you already raised your seat? Here's one: http://www.amazon.com/Unknown-Driver...261117&sr=8-10

No jokes here man. I'd look into a proper cushion or whatever is going to work for you to have a proper seat position. Safety before anything else

Yes, I raised the seat as high as I could. I feel really lame sitting on a cushion. I saw someone mention something about being able to raise the seat height with some modification. Can't seem to find a thread though.

I'd recomend going to a reputable machinistand see if he can make you some brackets that bolt to the original mounts and provide new mounts a little higher as well as position the seat where you need it. similar to how wheel spacers/adaptors work.

x3 thats how i would go about it, between the rail and the floor, your going to either create a whole other seat rail that can go under yours or a almost washer(spacer) system for the oem seat rail.

hopefully you can get this sorted so you can really enjoy you dream car!

hokay dokay dr jones, hold on to your potatoes

I was thinking about this last night but a big question is: How safe is it going to be during a wreck? Not that I plan on any, but it's always in the back of my head when driving in traffic. I was leaning more towards adding more cushion to the actual seat. I only need the boost towards the rear of the seat, the front is fine.

Got a girl version? :tup:

Maybe something like this? Not sure how much it would compress though.

AutoSport Microsuede Wedge Cushions - AutoSport Catalog

They have a 180 day return policy if it doesn't work.

Looks like I have some product testing to do. Thanks for the link. :tiphat:
