Are any short people out there driving with the folding buckets? I have read that they sit quite high, and am wondering if they will work.

Is there a way to raise them either on an after market bracket or spacers (safely)?

Does anyone make a seat pad that slots in place and can be easily swapped between drivers?

Being only 5'7" I find them perfect and they are my favourite seat in the porsche range of seats.
Had them in 987 spyder and 981gt4 just a shame you can no longer spec. in a 718 gt4/spyder/Gts

Thanks. At 5'7" you are a giant in my world. One of us is 4'9"!

I did get a dealer in LA to find the shortest person they had in the shop – they pulled out a mechanic at 5'1" and sat him in the car, sent me photos saying he could see out and reach the pedals.

This is the guy. Said he was fine, just needed to lower the steering wheel.
