... but now I'm KO.
Sorry about posting backwards.
Actually some years ago Porsche explained the reason why they did not allow for the up/down movement, only in/out of the steering wheel.
They claim that because these cars were built to be taken to the track they aimed the driver's airbag directly at the driver's chest.
If they were to allow for an up/down movement, in the case of an airbag deployment while using a full-face helmet, the airbag could force the head back if it hit immediately under the front of the helmet possibly breaking the driver's neck.
Happy Boxstering,
Pedro

I've longer arms and would like to push the thing all the way towards the dash and my 5'2" wife just the opposite. This will be her car when I'm done and I'll go in search of a 97' C2S....
