It has 'em, all right.  I want them even lower than that (I'm not exactly
ummmm... lightly built).  The seat lowering almost makes it worse, because
the pivot point is not exactly at the front of the seat - it forces my
knees just a little closer to the steering wheel if I drop the seat down
all the way.  What I'm envisioning (this could be a completely thwacked
vision; I'm stuck in a data center and haven't looked at the interior of
the car for several hours) is maybe removing the tracks underneath the seat
and bolting it (more) directly to the floor.  I really do love the seats,
so I don't want to spend $400 on an aftermarket job if I don't have to.
