CF Seats -- High or Low Setting?

Finally got the 997 CF seats into my RS (will try to post some pics later) and they look great. There are two settings (i.e., high and low) and I selected the higher setting. But I am now wondering if I made a mistake. On my first drive the seats didn't feel right (my upper back actually hurt), but perhaps I just need to play around with the steering wheel adjustment? I am curious to get input from those who have tried the two different settings. I am about 5' 9".

In order to move down to the lower setting I will need to remove the seats, which is a bummer. Then, I understand the screws leave marks (silver rings) on the black anodized adaptors around the screw hole from the previous setting. Double bummer.

You are referring to the Porsche CF seat as in the C-GT right? Those seats fit perfect in the 997 GT3/RS. You should have no problems. You have the best.

Yup, referring to CGT type seats; mine are the all-fabric version. They fit perfectly in the car. On each side of the seats there is a metal adaptor that attaches to the shell, and the shell can be attached at two separate heights (i.e., a high and a low setting, with about an inch or so difference between the two). I am interested in hearing from anyone who was tried the two settings and as to preferences. Thanks much.

I have the seats in my car. You want the lower setting. I am 5'8" and the lower setting is perfect.
