They just modify your existing seat. You send in your seat, they open it up, strip out some foam, insert a bladder for height adjustment, and sew it back up again.
You are getting your old seat back, so it is not a replacement.
You are paying for labor only, but the labor looks top notch. Looks like they got rid of that ugly corner seam as well. :thumbsup
I am looking for a way to modify the rails themselves.
My biggest hold up on this is depending on UPS or FedEx to get the seat there and back in one piece.
I use them all the time, and I have some of the best packing people in the world, and they still find ways to run the packages through a time machine and age them 20 years. :wink

We actually completely reshape the existing foam, and change some different padding in, and the leather is all new but otherwise it is a rework on the current seat. For the note on sending if you are not getting lumbar support you are also welcome to just send the seat base and not the back.. easier packaging, much lighter shipping weight.
We are working on a fully adjusting seat. Meaning, up down, forward back, firmer lessor support.. with side controls like so many other of the nicest cars have. We are working on trying to get the most cost effective and appropriate solution for that, I would say that this will be unlikely to lower the two inches but it is still a possibility that we are seeking. Until we have the prototype for that seat it is difficult to say what it will and will not have.
As always, I will endevor to keep you all posted as to what we are able to get out of the electronic seat.
thanks

If you can get it done somewhere else for less, let us all know, otherwise whatever the market will bear. That is the American way!LEMANSZ said:

You may want to look at Sparco ?
You may want to look at Sparco performance street seats.
If you are looking for a change.
The stock GT seat is a custom made Sparco.
The first few Ford development cars actually used off the shelf Sparco units.
And they have removable lower cushions that are easy to tailor your self.
Ford actually retained the seat mounting bolt pattern from the Sparco.
The Production seat is the one to have for long trips. Trust me I have driven a GT cross country with both the aftermarket Sparco. And the stock Ford unit.
The aftermarket unit is great for the track and short trips. And is easy to shorten for the tall.

The lowered seat is your original seat that we modify. We have you send us your original seat (only the lower section of the seat, either drivers or passenger side), we then refabricate the padding of the seat, recover it to original and send it back to you. This seat modification lowers the seat about 2 inches. For shipping details please contact Jen (Mark's personal assistant) at 920-242-9156.
