[V8] Seat height

[Coleman, David]

I too would be skeptical since the headroom in my 91 is wealk, and I'm 5'-8" with the la-z-boys all the way down. 

Maybe the sports seats option wasn't introduced unti '91?

Anyhoo.

.... what year is your V8?  There is *supposed to be* a change for the 1991 model year that lowered the seat frame 2.54cm (AKA 1") in the 1991 models .... so if your car is a 1990 model you might well be observing a difference.  I still find head room a bit lacking in my '91s, so I'm skeptical ...
