Re: description of a raised seat

It is amazing how much of a difference it made for me. I can see out, see the front corners of the car better, and see over the left mirror even when the car is cornering to the left. I can even see the warning lights in the dash display. I am 5'10" with a 33" inseam.
Funny how those proportions work. I am 6' with a 30" inseam, making me sit about 5" taller than you. On various other threads there are photos of me in the both the S1 and S2s . In each it is clear how high I sit compared to many others.
When I test drove Ian Smith's LSS I would have had to constantly duck down to see thru the windshield -- if I hadn't already had to duck because of the hardtop.
Those like you can raise the existing seat.
Those like me are gonna need a low custom seat -- or get necks that don't cramp as easily as mine does.
Here's a photo with me in the passenger seat next to Randy.
He seems perfectly situated.
Notice how I had to keep my head tiipped forward so that my helmet remained barely below the rollbar.
If I were driving, there is no doubt my helmet would be banging against the top of the A-pillar.
I'm gonna have a hard time autocrossing from my preferred, forward, crunched over the steering-wheel position with the existing seats.
