Default Recaro question for 5th gen Accords

Ive noticed that my driver side seat sits a little lower than the passenger. Its using civic railings but the only thing I did was add some spacers for everything to fit in.

Is this because the seat was meant for a right hand drive car or something? Someone please enlighten me. thanks!

because both of the seats arent suppose to be perfectly line up, the driver side need to be in the right position to steer, brake, shift, see and view the mirror which the passenger just need to relax their fat ****.

dont bother to do anything to it if it feels good driving it..

Thanks man! Thats what I was thinking too.

My driver seat sits a little lower but im assuming its for the sake of function. The height of the passenger seat just wouldn't do if its in the driver side. My thighs would probably hit the steering. Im just wondering if its common or its an accord thing or something. Are most cars with Recaros like this?

thanks!

for my 6th gen, the passenger side is push back, and everytime someone sit in my passenger seat ask me why and how the heck i drive with my seat push torward the front of the car. Just found out the driver seat have a deeper/inner cockpit/leg room. lol

even tho' I am short(asian 5'10") but I am not that short..haha
