Stock seat rails in S550 GT premium

[cking]

With 2015 models the seat base and rails are one piece.. The earlier models the seat and rails can be separated then you buy racing seat plate, set of adjuster rails. Hook up the seat position sensor and the airbag ready to go. You will be sitting so low you'll needva spacer to see over steering wheel.

Having just swapped seats, I can tell you there is a ton more junk under the premium seats than there is under the manual adjusting and non heated/cooled recaros. The recaros look hollow by comparison.

The side bolsters do make them more of a pain to get and out of, but I had my premium seats at their lowest position, and putting the recaros at the same spot, they still have space to go down.

Next step would be reclining the seat back and telescoping the steering wheel as far out as it will go.

If you need to go lower than that, I think you're looking at aftermarket seats and running without airbags.

Here is a pic of my 2017 gt350 seat next to 2012 cloth seat. So find a seat from a 2010-14 that matches your factory material color, true no ac/heat, no electric just manual foward and back.

Any possibility that you could take a photo of the underside of that GT350 seat?

FACTORY SEAT BOTTOM VIEWS

I replaced my first with the 2012 seat show in the pic, still didn't like it so I replaced with a 65 mustang look alike seat. Procar 80-1500-61L

So the seat is all the way up, because that's how you get them out. From my inspection there is so much stuff under there you can't lower it any. Only way to get air bags and lower the seat is to put a 2010-14 in. the 2012-14 uses an updated air bag. I bought a manual seat harness for a 2017 and then spliced it into the 2012 harness so I could plug into the factory plug. I couldn't find an upholster that would even consider trying to cut the foam down to lower it.

Thanks very much for posting those photos. There isn't anything that can be done with those by the book. Maybe it's time to look at aftermarket seats, or it might be vert only.
