So does lowering the seat make getting out of the car even more of a challenge?

It pays to be in shape and flexible if you are tall .

I look like I'm a contortionist getting into a bread box when I'm getting in the car.

With almost 1'96 m I also have trouble with the seating in the s2000, now my only questions is... my wife normaly drives the car... and she's only1'67 m..... will she be able to sit as comfortable as she does now if I lower the chair?

Anyone in Maryland do this mod? Want to do it to another? What about after market seats made of leather? I'd buy the Sparco Roadster but they're cloth right? Who wants to trade leather for cloth? Not me. Any help is appreciated.

Rick Hesel is local to you and installed aftermarket seats. He had then done custom for two tone color (Black/red) but they came standard in black leather.

Here is the thread https://www.s2ki.com/forums/showthread.php?...threadid=119159

The only problem now is they're same height as stock. Need lower. Those SPARCO Revs' are supposedly 3" lower with Taitec rails. Anyone had them custom upholstered?
