Hey guys. I am over 6 feet and even though I love the seats in the car, I need seats that are a couple inches lower. I have seen Fox body owners stuffing in 2012-2015 Mustang seats in their cars and they sit way lower then stock. Has anyone swapped these seats into our cars?

I used 01 cobra seats in my fox, the fox tracks will let the seat sit lower .
You will need to fabricate a bit , to get them bolted to the seat., i had to make spacers for the bolts to seat .

Would swapping to a manual seat track lower the stock seats enough? To be honest, I am the only person who drives my car so I am not moving the seat at all.

I am aware you want to do this to your Cobra .
The tracks from the fox , sit lower than the Cobra tracks .
All of the linkage and motors of the power seats , make the seat sit higher .

Kenny Brown makes, or made mounting brackets that let the driver seat slide back further and also a little lower. I have a set but haven't installed them yet. You have to drill the floorboard so not really looking forward to doing that. I have seen someone put 05 seats in a New Edge, but it was far from bolt in and the seats were packed in there. I think it might have been a youtube video actually. If you want to get low and don't mind a harder\manual seat - some Corbeau's are the easiest route.

If you had read my post , you would know I speak from experience.
But in case , yes I have and I sit at the stock fox height with 01 Cobra seats in my fox .
As I said , I needed to make a couple of spacers (aluminum round stock from an old small block ford alternator ) and longer bolts .

And just so you k ow , the floor plan is the same on your cobra as a fox , the dash is the same height etc, the difference is at the rockers outward, otherwise they are the same .
I might be a 1/2 inch at most higher from stock but I did not measure with my high priced tape measure , just my old school dumb pass .
Good luck , don't over think it . KISS , that means keep it simple stupid , no Insult sir .
