So I HATE the stock seats. My driver side power switch was basically broken when I bought the car almost 11 years ago.
So I took my best stab at fixing the problem. Here's what I did.. tell me what you think!
First I removed the stock seat.
Next I assembled these manual sliders and brackets..
Then I bolted this onto the sliders and bracket.
Problem solved!!
I'm 6'4" and I've always hated how Ford forced us tall guys to sit in these cars. After I installed this seat.. the love affair with this car started all over. I just got in and drove the car for 2 hours straight. I NEVER do that anymore lol.
If anyone has been on the fence about making this upgrade.. I understand why because I spent a small fortune on these seats.. but just getting the seat height lower, and further back, allowing me to sit up straight, it's priceless. I feel like the car is just wrapping around me now.
The nappa leather hide these are wrapped in makes the car smell like a Ferrari to boot.
One thing I never realized is just how much play was in the backs of the stock seats. After the install went for a drive and when I mashed the throttle my chest felt like it was caving in when I got into the power band. I could finally feel all 500 ponies, I was pinned to the solid back of the Recaros, no flex anymore.
Gonna work on the passenger side this weekend, will post up some progress pics.
