Seat to high
I got a new roll bar installed in my 2001 convertible, now my seat is to high. I have stock sport seats. If I change to Corbeau A4's are they lower? I asked in the tech section and got no answers.

Or you could remove the stock seat from your current seat rails and fasten an aluminum racing seat to them. The front would be about equal in height to the stock seat but the rear would be a couple of inches lower as the seat height in the rear is only the thickness of the aluminum sheet the seat is built out of.

Kelly,
I am in the process (a long winter project process :o)) of installing seats. I am 6'1". My car does not have a roll bar. I went with
Sparco EVO II US seats
MTI C5 seat rails
I've driven my car with the seat installed. I felt a little lower in the car. I haven't tried putting on a helmet yet.

The low roof height of these cars makes it a real chore to get everything located properly for a 6'+ driver to be fully protected in a rollover. I went so far as to section the stock roof halo for cage fitment as I felt anything lower would be unsafe. My current fiberglass seat is in contact with the carpetless floor, and I'm switching to an Ultrashield aluminum seat to see if I can improve on that.
Bottom line, get the seat as low as you can, you'll need all the room you can get.
