I just purchased two new seat springs from Moss and the leather seat kit and
installed them yesterday on freshly renewed rails (that actually slide!!).
>From the carpet to the apex of the seat cushion is 9 1/2" (that would be
about 3" from the front bead). I 6' tall and can see over the dash easily.
I can send you a picture if you like.
