Its crazy how specific of a post this is as I am also a shorter fk8 owner and thought about the seating position a couple of times. This is a good thing to know tho so ty for the post about your findings

Also what are the OEM bolt material vs the spacer kit bolt material if you know? I read the product description saying the spacers are aluminum

any long time feed back? I think I am gonna try this now. I spent alot of time with various seat settings and have concluded that I'll probably need the spacer for long term driving.
