I know other drivers who didn\u2019t want to replace the seat, but did and kept the stock one for when they sell the car. You can get an aftermarket performance seat that is comfortable for everyday driving, but allows you to sit lower. Think about it\u2026 having your head against the roof is not the safest thing! And having your head canted down is going to make looking far ahead a big challenge.<\/p>\n<p>Sorry I can\u2019t give you an easier solution. But the best answer is the right one: install a seat the allows you to sit lower, resulting in better visibility, and much more safety. It\u2019s the right thing to do. And it just so happens that it\u2019s the only thing you can do that works.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Q: \u201cWith a new Bell full coverage helmet my head position is canted down 15 to 20 degrees.
