Jen, I know two options. One idea (to lower one inch or less) is to use a material like ``Tempur-Pedic" instead of using traditional urethane /sponge. It would...
Hi there Jen, I have a selection of aftermarket seats that would look good on your 65 SS. I am located in Indonesia where there are a lot of people around the ...
