or raise your seat a little bit if you're having problems looking over the mirror during your left turn. these japanicans could not build a car to fit his fellow j-arse. thanks to modshack's recommendation i tried below and worked perfectly.

get 2 longer M10X1.25pitch screws and spacer/washers to raise the backside of the seat. you can find this screw size at most AceHardware. Just get a 50mm length if you're unsure cause it will be plently long.

-first loosen (no need to remove) the 2 front bolts mounting the seat rails to the floor.
there's black caps on them that can be pried off with a thin screw driver or pick tool.

-side seat all the way to the front.
-remove the rear 2 bolts mounting the seat rail to the floor.
-place new spacers/washers between the seat rails and floor.
-place your new bolts and tighten to 36lbs/ft.
-tighten front 2 bolts to 36lbs/ft.
-adjust the seat adjuster to get the seat cousion to an angle you like
-take a quick test drive.
-re-torque all 4 bolts 36lbs/ft when you get home.

done. im not super short or anything but i have long legs, short body... not a typical japanese.
