I have exactly the same problem with a 996. Ray Martin at Porsche GB (Reading) offered to take padding from the seat and thus lower it by 1/2 an inch (not enough in my instance). Try speaking to him and see what he advises. Ray is in charge of upholstory etc. DAZ

Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

I think a race seat is ya only solution in the 3.2 im guessing its got a sunroof coz ive had the same grief. A race seat bolted directly to the floorpan with no mounting brackets used was the only option in a suroofed SC I drove and that was still a bit tight for me at 6'3'' with a lid on tho.
I'm 5'4" so does anyone have a chusion I can borrow to see over the dash?
Scottster I don't know ya well enough to say get a Halfords Kiddies seat to solve any vertically challenged affliction you may have so I'll leave it to some one else.....
I might be interested in your old seats if you decide to change them (assuming colour and condition are Ok) Danny
I have an 88 911 3.2 Sport, which I would like to do track days in. However, I'm too tall to get in the car comfortably with a crash helmet on. Has anyone succesfully lowered the drivers seat in a pre 89 911 or am I going to have to buy a race seat ?
