Yea it's a bit higher.... It's a little right with a helmet, I'm 5 11" FYI. Great seats thought can't say enought! I took them on a 10,000 mile road trip and they were awesome. Btw it's also on kw3s
I have not needed to smog the car yet since you don't have to do it during the first five years the car is on the road. But when I do need to I am not expecting it to be a problem. I will just remove my aftermarket intakes about a month before the smog to let the car adjust. It will most likely pass with aftermarket intakes but it will not pass the visual inspection.
