xB Seat question?
I just test drove an xB today here in VA. I noticed that the front seats are a bit high. The brackets are like two or three inches higher, for appearently no reason. Has anyone lowered their seats/removed the brackets?
Thanks,
Doc

I am about 6'2, but I have been driving a mustang for the last four years and I like the feel of low bucket seats.
I was just wondering if anyone has lowered the front seats...

One thing that you will probably have to do if you lower the seats is find a new location for the jack. It will still fit under a lowered seat, but you won't be able to get it out easily!

I know what you mean about feeling high. When i drove the xB after I drove my s2000, i felt like i was driving a school bus, lol
Im going to try to put some aftermarket seats in this weekend so i ll let you know if there is anything that can be done.

Thanks for the help, I am 99% sure I am getting an xB, I just want it to be the right fit. And after driving the Mustang for so long, I have the need to be sunken low and laid back. It didn't feel like I could do that the way the seats are now. I was thinking about aftermarket seats, but what do you do with the back seats? Wouldn't it look kinda tackey to leave the stack back seats but have aftermarket front seats?

dugzilla, lovin the Nilos , I wanna get my hands on those rims someday, yea the seating in the car is pretty high, but like its been said being 6 foot I probly wont be able to see over the dashboard too well , but would make it comfortable

I went from a 1989 Civic, which had LOW seats, but they were more reclined. Not only am I sitting higher in the xB, but I'm way more upright. It's kind of uncomfortable. Maybe I should swap the seats or lower them as the topic originator said.
