I am new here. Been lurking a while and decided I had something to offer.

I had the same issue in my 2002 S. I am 6'2" and 200lbs and always felt I sat to high in the car. 2 years ago I decided to solve it.

I bought 2 Recaro SPG's (non XL). They came with the stock Recaro sliders and adjustable side mounts. I then took the BK R-9040 Seat track adapter kit to mount the sliders to the floor and the mounts to the sliders. I mounted the seats as low in the brakets as they could go.

By doing this I gained around 3 inches of seat drop. Where I used to look through the top of the windshield, I now look through the middle to lower half of the windshield.

I am very satisfied with the change this made for me
