Hello all!
Factory Five notified me that from my kit (or a few before mine) they are only shipping the Big & Tall seats with the Roadsters (as long as they didn't stretch the truth a bit and don't want to pay to swap mine out) but the only problem is that I'm underfed and short!
I'd like the standard Leather roadster seats for my car.
I got my delivery 12/2/16 and I'm looking for anyone interested in an even trade - Leather B&T for Leather Standard. I'm in Florida for a meet or I can ship if you can.
Please let me know if you are interested in a trade.
Thanks,
Bruce Krist :cool:

Is that a permanent change and the regular seats are no longer available?

What?! I hope that's not true! I'm not really a fan of the big and tall seats.

I second that notion... that was never brought to my attention and my kit will be here Tuesday. I would have deleted the seats had I known. I will be and to confirm Tuesday if ol Jim makes it down.

This is what I was told when I tried to exchange mine. I NEED the standard seats as I'm "Height Challenged" but was told by FFR that this is the new standard. I hope I wasn't lied to and that they just didn't want to pay to ship new ones and have these sent back but they only have one part number for vinyl and one for leather in the catalog now.

Ahhh I have vinyl seats. I didn't upgrade to the leather.

Hey Guys!
I see some of you are frustrated with the recent changes to our seats. For a long time we were selling mostly upgrades for the big and tall seats so we decided to make the switch and order all of our seats, vinyl and leather, so they came with this standard. These are the types of improvements we try to make over time to give our customers the extra foot box room that is usually requested. The only difference from our old standard seats, to the big and tall seats is that there is one inch less of padding, creating the little bit of extra space. There's not set spot a seat has to be placed in the car, so for anyone who needs to close up some space in leg room, you can always bolt the seat to the floor closer to the steering wheel and foot box. We also sell seat tracks for $75.00 that can be installed to move the seat forward if your prefer. Thank you for all of your understanding.

Thanks for clearing that up Courtnie. I pictured the high back seats when big and tall was mentioned.
