Default Raising Seat Height

I'd like to purchase an S2000, but my wife (5 foot tall) can't see over the dash to drive it. I'm 5'11" and the stock seat height is great for me; however, we'd both be driving the car.

Any suggestions on other more adjustable seat options would be appreciated.

You may have to ask her to sit on a towel. You won't find a seat that will install while also allowing the seat to raise/lower. You can purchase racing bucket seats that have different thickness velcro pads that can be added and removed, but you're talking about a big change to switch to a seat like that.

My wife is also 5'0" and she could see well enough to co-drive during a road trip we took to TN years ago. This was back when I still had stock seats.

Hat a custom cushion made so it looks good and boost her up to the right height. Put it in the trunk when it's your turn.

Thanks for the ideas. The booster is a good thought if her ego will allow for it. I guess its a matter of how good of a booster you could get made. I have a 69 pro-touring Camaro with seats from an Audi A4, which went in nicely with a few slight mods. Has anyone heard of a seat that may raise and lower that we could retrofit?
