all:
i'm continuing to love my "new" 9000. just drove many hundred miles and found that although seats were very confortable, and i like the 8-way adjustemnt (all of which works fine) i wanted to go back still farther and lower: not enough headroom because of sunroof. i'm 6'-2" which i think is about as tall as the average male swede. i had same probds in my old 900s, if it was a standard 900 and no sunroof, gobs of headroom; if it was an S, with sunroof, limited headroom, seemed like about 2 inches less room in fact.
i did a search here and read lots of posts about seat adjustments, so i *get* that i can't make the seat any lower or farther back.
has anyone changed out a standard power seat for an aero recaro? i am not concerned about the cool factor at all, but very interested in comfort. (i broke my tailbone 20 yrs ago and comfort is a major concern.)
are these highly sought after because of their "coolosity" and therefore hard to find or expensive? i would only be changing the driver's seat, not both fronts.
thanks for any tips. like others, i can't see the very top of the turbo gauge, etc. but that doesn't matter as much as gaining a bit of headroom comfort.
