My seats set higher (floorboard to lower seat cushion) than the bench that was in the car and I assume the standard bucket seats, mine are high back buckets with head rests that came from a 99 Pontiac Grand Am, they look great in the car, don't get me wrong, I love them but I'm looking to lower them a bit, but it may be more of a chore than its worth, the drivers seat has power elevation and lowering, I don't need it but if my 5 foot girlfriend has to drive it she may. and the fact that I'm over 6 foot tall, I relocated the seat a little further back. the main reason I did this (besides my height) was I broke my right kneecap back in November so I can now get in with the seat all the way back and slide it forward to drive
