I've asked ERA to shave it and just looking for reinforcement of that decision. Do the adjustable tracks add some heigth to the seating position (my assumption is yes) or are the seats spaced some off the floor w/o the tracks anyway?
Dan, I'm 6'4" and had the seats installed with no tracks, shaved padding, and the driver's side bolted directly to the floor a couple of inches behind the regular bolt holes. Works great and you can see from this pic that my head is not sticking up over the windshield like a clown car.

EDIT -- Uhh, I'm the one on the left...
