per my other posts, a more detailed question on Comfort Seats :
I noticed sitting on comfort seats today that the bottom seat feel shorter than the sports, and i had to adjust outward the leg extender... is this normal? I am only 5'7", barely. Do other people around this height feel the same, or is EVERYONE overjoyed with these things?

I am 5' 7" with running shoes on, and have comfort seats. I do not use the leg extender.
I think you are probably not sitting in the seat correctly. If you keep the seatback too upright, and then sit leaning back.... it will leave a gap between your lumbar and the seat. This would cause your legs to sit farther forward, making the leg extender necessary.
Try leaning the seat back a little more, and scoot so your lumbar touches the back of the seat correctly.
Just a thought.... maybe not the answer but try it out.

Yeah, make sure you have zero lumbar support. That should slide you back a little further. Do you not like using the leg extender?

I feel this way sitting in the passenger seat, but I am very satified with the drivers seat.
I can't explain the difference... Maybe the bottom cusion needs to be broken in more.
