Default Lowering Driver Seat

Hello,

I'm wondering if anyone has any ideas or thoughts about the best way to try and lower the driver seat in a 2001 monte carlo ss. I am about 6 feet 2 inches tall and I could use a little more head room.

The seat is electric, so I don't know if that poses any issues or problems. But if anyone has some suggestions on what type of place would do such work, or some way to lower the seat I would appreciate it.

Thanks,

Mark

You actually need to lower it? Sounds like you could play with the seat adjustments more to give yourself room.

I'm 6'7" and I have about 1.5-2 inches of head clearance.

I have a fairly tall upper half of my torso. I do put my seat back (reclined) somewhat. Should be plenty of room, other than a van or a truck I don't know that you can find a bigger car lol

I also fit just fine in my Trans Am, which has nearly half the space lol
