Any adjustment to the seat height puts your passenger at risk in a crash. And generally anyone that rides in my passenger seat is somebody I care about.

It has been often discussed here in Camaro5. When Mrs. Number 3 and I took one of the first CTF cars to California over Christmas 2008 (wow a lonnnnggggg time ago now) she had problems with this. She is a bit over 5'2". She just read books on every trip we ever took in a Gen 5. It is just a known problem with the 2010 and 2011 models since corrected.

At one point Fbodfather hinted it might be a retrofit on the earlier Camaros but I haven't seen that yet.

But again, a lot of people have posted their garage engineering fixes on this site, I don't recommend it under any condition. You are impacting the performance of the seat and airbag in a crash, two things you don't want to do.
