Default Low Passenger Seat

Anyone notice how low the passenger seat is on the 08 sti?

I thought my gf was being annoying, but after sitting in it, its way low and uncomfortable unless you have the seat all the way back.

With someone sitting behind me, Im eating my knees...

Is there any way to raise the seat a bit?

It common on alot of cars. Some sit high some sit low.

I'm a bigger guy and I wish the drivers side seat was as low as the passanger.

I feel safer the lower I sit.

I personally like how low it sits. It's a more sporty feel.

BTW, see that little lever on the side of the seat? Give that a try sometime.

It's because of Subaru's rally heritage. Ever see how low and back the co-driver sits in a WRC car? It's all about center of gravity.
