Chas - I have the reduced cushion thickness in my seats and except for a 3/16 inch steel runner under them to allow off-setting them to the rear from the ERA mounts, they are mounted directly on the floor. They are also shimmed at the front about 1/2 to 5/8 inches. The position is actually quite good. When I said slouching I didn't mean in an extreme sense - just a relaxed position. These things have a unique driving position with the offset seating/pedals and it is my first roadster. It will take a little getting used to but even with the little bit of time in it I'm getting to like it more and more.

Got to rig up something to secure the floor mats however - they like to slide forward. I think some binder spring clips on the back edge and hook to a hole on the bottom of the seat frame might work and be hidden out of the way. I guess more trick would be to get a few more lift-a-dot fastners or snap fastners and install a couple on the back edge. A future project I guess.
