Default Seat to high

I just got a new roll bar in my 2001 convertible. Now I need to lower my seat height. My stock seats are powered sport seats. If I switch to Corbea A4's will they sit lower?

I have A4's on Corbeu's brackets in my '99 Coupe. They are great seats but I do not think I sit any lower than with the stock Sport seat.
Corbeau does offer a "shaved base" option that should result in the seating position being lower than stock.
Call Corbeau and talk with them. They are very willing to help.

An unneeded comment, for fun only.

This reminded me of a story, as many things do.

I was considering buying an Alfa convertible off of a lot, but I didn't fit in the car. The salesman said a lot of guys just hammer the body down underneath the seats, people do it all the time, and he would throw that in free. I got a big old Jag instead.
