Replaced 2 way power with 8 way power seats

[orlandoguy1]

Hey everyone,

I replaced my 2 way power seats with 8 way power seats in my 2000 996 Cab. I wanted the power lumbar function for the longer trips. I have all the functionality (except for memory and heat - I live in FL so that's not too big of a loss). However, after completing the installation - I now find myself riding 2-3 inches higher than I did with my previous 2 way seats. Not a problem for some - but I am 6'3 and my legroom/headroom is completely gone.

Does anyone have any experience with adjusting the mounting points on the 8 way power seat to lower it (or push it back) a bit? I am considering doing the center console delete to pick up some extra leg room (I'd lose the DSP control and CD rack). However, I'd rather just adjust the seat.

Any thoughts or suggestions?

Thanks!

Ditch the floor mats?

Aside from that center console delete sounds most probable.

My guess is your new seats probably have more hardware and thus less clearance than the standard seats.

Other than that you are on your own drilling or cutting...

That was what I was afraid of...not sure what is better - more comfortable seat or more head/leg room...I'll probably try the center console delete first...see what that does for me...thats probably the least difficult project to tackle...
