Anybody make risers/spacers I have e21 Recaro's  in my Touring and at 5'8 I feel like I'm sitting on the floor.

 

I'm the same in my Touring. I feel the seats needs to come up more at the back than the front. Maybe one day.

That will probably be the solution just figured maybe there was a set of seat risers that were available guess I'm getting lazy in my old age.

Buy a handful of large area washers at Ace Hardware and dig some longer bolts out of the bolt can.

Vary the stack up front to back to adjust angle.

Fender washers.

You might also see if your seat cushion straps are giving up. I just bought a new (and inexpensive) set on ebay...

I used Aardvark adapters and I'm 6'4'' They still sit lower than stock seats  Give Dave a call he has everything you need including the bottom straps
