" The worst thing, if I can't re-do the cushions to lower them, is " to reupholster the 73 split-bench (my favorite seat config), which " will certainly work.
the seats should settle a bit after you've been sitting on them for a while, shouldn't they?
I hope so! Drivers and pass. side seat brackets are different (lots of parts juggling) and the drivers side is an inch higher. I'll fix that tomorrow, see if it helps. I really like the Classic seats, I hope I can work them out.
