Recaro seat base height

Also are yours electric? Don't know if that affects the adjustability of them

Well these ones were from a coupe so you might be on to something there...

I can adjust the height at the front and at the back on my RS2 Recarros, maybe the coupes used a different seat base than the Avant?

After installing my S2 Recaros into my Avant this weekend I've come to the conclusion that they're not meant for the shorter gentleman. I'm about 5'8" and am struggling to find a comfortable position.

My choice is either a) position the base as low as possible (which is how I like my seats), but struggle to get my leg over the front of the seat base when pressing the clutch or b) raising the seat base so that it's level but then putting up with a truck driver seating position.

The problem is that lowering the seat base just lowers the rear end of it so that it tilts, but I want the whole base to squat down. As I'm stuck with that function what I need to do is lower the height of the front of the seat base, has anyone done this before?
