| Post subject: | lower seats? |
I have an early 944 with the lower steering wheel, and no power steering (so changing to a smaller wheel isn't really an option). I quite like the stock seats, but am wondering if there is either a way to lower the stock seat, or are there any replacement seats from other models that allow you to sithe lower? |

your seats may well still have the riser blocks on the seats. remove seats and have a look. Also the steering wheel is off centre, higher in the straight ahead position but hits you legs when you turn. I've swapped for a Momo and much prefer it |

Series one seats are a little higher than series two seats (hence series two seats having height adjustment), but a better bet for increased leg room is to fit one or two 60mm steering boss extensions. These give a gentle lift too, but their main benefit is in allowing you to straighten your legs - giving lots of knee room. This will entail using an aftermarket steering wheel, but it should be worth it. |

I already have an aftermarket wheel - just installed it last weekend. MX5 Momo wheel, non-concentric spacer, and new boss. Sits about the same place as the stock wheel. Might look into a boss extension. Thanks for the advice |

The non-concentric adapter (Momo I presume?) will retain the original wheels feature, but what you gain going straight ahead, you lose going around a corner... You will need sufficient spacing to allow your legs to fully straighten. When they do you will have lots of room. |

Youll need at least one 60mm spacer and probably two. |
