My '90 hatch had a full leather interior from a '96 Cobra up until last night. I wanted seats that were a little more supportive and that sat a bit lower. Ordered up a set of the Corbeau GTSII seats and brackets from 50resto. I got the seats and they were very comfortable during the try-out on my living room floor. Finally got around to installing them last night and they're not gonna work for me. I needed something a bit lower than stock to make room for my long-ass legs. I figured these would fit the bill since they're more "dished" than the stock seats and have custom brackets designed for the Mustang. Turns out, they're about 1" HIGHER than stock. Fine and dandy for a shorter person, but not for someone who's 6'2" and mostly legs. 
So, looks like i get to pull them back out tonight. Not sure what i'm gonna do since returning them is not really an option. Between restocking fees, shipping charges, hassle, etc it's just not worth it. 
If anyone wants a set of 1-day-old Corbeaus, let me know. I need to get something out of these seats. Can't afford to have nearly $900 sitting on my floor in the garage. Or maybe i'll just keep them and see if a tilt wheel gives me the room i need. Arrrrrgh!
On a good note, since i already had the seats out of the car i took the opportunity to replace the heater core. Holy crap it sucked. Some Ford designer needs to be drug into the street and shot, then urinated on. I did find one thing that made it much easier though. I made a small cut in the right hand side of the HVAC box using a hack saw. This allowed the front of the box to pivot up, making for easy removal/install of the heater core. After the new core was in and the screws were put back in, the box was just as sturdy as it was without the cut.
