I am the lucky owner of a low mileage exec model (Aust) with standard seats and standard suspension. Would appreciate some feedback on 2 points.
If I lower the suspension (removing spacers?) what is the increased level of harshness? We have 17" alloys on with 45 profile and the ride is already firm enough.
Secondly, the only effective disappointment with the vehicle is with the standard seats - lack of under thigh support and all round support. ( Am 6 foot). Is there an easy modification/improvement available?
Are the Comfort seats seriously better?
Thanks for your assistance.

Removing spacers, I am not sure what you are talking about? Anytime you lower the car you are going to get a harsher ride, however it does not have to be dramatic and a negative thing if done properly and throughly, like a new set of good quality springs and shocks. I know of no fix for your seats other than to replace them with sport seats.
