Hey Sky Hye,

Since I am short as well and can relate to her, I say have her get a nice, thick, and pretty pillow that matches the interior of your ride. It works for me when I drive my cousins ‘Stang. (I’m only 5’ 1”)

Cousin's Stang? You telling me that Deysha doesn't have her own Mustang? I thought getting a discount on a Mustang was the best benefit to working for FoMoCo.

Had a guy on another forum with the opportunity to purchase a Boss here (pretty rare only 6 for all of Europe) and asked me if it had power seats 'cause his wife would be driving it too. IMO, I would find a work around such as a pillow or cushion. My wife is 5'4" and hasn't complained about the seats, she actually likes them.

Like someone suggested earlier, I wonder if you could get seal material and foam to make something that would have a C shape to it that is padded on one side and slips through the holes in the seat like a little snug seat pillow/head cushion. You'll need a seamstress.

See if Wet Okole will make you a set of neoprene seat covers (covering up the harness holes). I have them in my Jeep and they are very well made and comfy, and the seating surfaces have 1/2" of cushion under the cover.

2 options,

Get retardos and swap her side with stock seat and sell 1 on eBay.
Or get booster seat for her or make her wear a helmet, after all recaros are for racing and she should get a full experience

on a serious note, compared to stock seats, street and freeway driving, are recaros less comfortable, just as comfortable or more comfortable?

what about long trips?

In my opinion more comfortable. I never felt comfy in the stock leather seats. Once you sit in and drive a boss or Shelby, you won't want to leave. Long trips they are comfy too

Find a Ford dealership with a 2012 Shelby GT500, they have leather Recaro seats. Do your butt a favor.

i stopped by a dealer, they had a shelby with recaros and gt with regular seats, they only let me test drive for a couple minutes because he knew i wanted to order a 2013 5.0 but i honestly don't know, i liked them both, but didn't get enough seat time to fit the comfort difference. I took a leap of faith and ordered the recaros for the 2013, and I'm sure ill be happy!

If you don't like them, those things sell faster than anything on here. They are very desireable! The only downside is no power. I think it's a plus, no accidental seat moving. Once you get it set in that sweet spot, they will stay that way!
