Front Seat Lowering - Not level after removing spacers

[deer_dodger]

I removed the spacers on my driver's seat to lower it recently.

The spacers by the door were deeper than the spacers closest to the centre of the car.

This now means my seat lists slightly and is now lower on the door side than the side near the centre of the car. You can't notice it when sitting in the seat, but to look at, it's definitely not as level as the passenger seat.

Any thoughts from those that have completed this mod? Normal or knackered?

Thanks in advance

John

Sure all the spacers at out? They're all the same thickness

Cheers Dan, my car has Trendlines but not genuine Renault items as they have a slider bar at the front rather than the Renault handle on the side of the subframe.

Left - outer spacer (near door)
Right - inner spacer (near handbrake)

You've taken both out of each side yes?

Yes, I left front in to tilt seat slightly backwards, but I have removed the two photographed spacers from the rear of the subframe.

Mine was the same, I used a few metal washers on the transmission side to bring the level up. I was speaking to Mark Fish about this, he said its a good thing as it leans you slightly away from the door, reducing any possible side impact injuries if tracking the car.
