raising the seats
well i serched an found nothing. i want to bring my drivers seat up by about an inch or two.
i used to own a jeep charookie and it had bolts for the seats. i just got longer bolts and threw some washers in. but our cars have studs. so here is my question: are the studs removable or wealsded in.
if they re removeable i can just get longer studs and throw some washers in. if not.... damm.

where's the problem? put washers on the studs, then put your seat back.
but yea, raise them? are you a midget?
if you need a larger raise then the height of the studs, you can cut them off (yea, welded into box bars), then weld in taller new ones... bit of a hassle...

Here is an idea for you.
you know how the brackets bolt to the seats!!??
Why dont you get bigger bolts for those bolts and put washers on them. I think that will get you an inch without messing with the bottom.
On the other note, how tall are you????
I am 6'1 and I am having problems with a lowerd racing seat!

5 feet 9 inches. i am not having trouble seeing out, but now that i put the hood on with the power bulge i just thougt it might be nice to be up a little bit.
my main ergonomics issue with the car is that i need the steering wheel to be a little closer to the dash. if my colum was about an inch shorter that would be great.
