seat height

Anyone notice the difference between the driver and passenger seat height at its lowest ? I am tall, and the passenger seat drops about 2-3 inches lower than the driver seat. Any ideas on why and how to get the driver seat lower ?

Racing seat? Not sure what the problem is. I'm 7' tall and I fit fine. Of course I don't have a sunroof either.

Stock seat. Im 6'2", and I have to lean the seat back more than I want so my head doesnt hit the roof. Passenger side I have 3-4 inches of headroom.

I'm 6' 3 and had to adjust my seat way up just to be able to see over the cowl hood enough on turns before I learned where the car is. Now I can drive with my left foot up on my seat or extended all the way out (sciatica problems and bending my leg up while driving helps sometimes) and have tons of room and my head is no where near the roof ever really. If I lower the seat all the way down there is a ton of room above me and I can't see over the dash. I have the backrest maybe at 10 degree angle. Just barely back from straight up. I don't know if someone messed yours up somehow or if they came with different styles maybe. Go look at some at dealers and see if theirs are different and try to find out why or how maybe.

I'm 6'1"and with a helmet on a the track I have to lean the seat way back and it makes the driving position less than ideal. if I didn't have a sunroof, I would have more clearance.

It seems that the driver seat is set higher than the passenger. I think son Little Rickey is about 5 inches taller than me. I bring the seat up so that I can see over the hood and as much as the invisible front corners as possible. When I get in to the car after Little Rickey has driven it seems as if I am sitting at street level and have to pull forward, back up, and height up. But I like to be at almost roof height anyway. On the passenger side it seems like I am riding lower for some reason.

I'm 6'2" and my head touches the frame of the sunroof. Its almost impossible to get comfortable while wearing a helmet. I either have to lay the seat back or tilt my head to the right.
