Default High Seat Mod

Guys,

I'm quite happy with the focus (LS Zetec) but one thing that annoys me is the high seating position as you feel you sit on it not in it like some other cars I've had previously.

Has anyone done anything to lower their seat? (Apart adjusting it to it's lowest height!) I've always contemplated doing this mod but have lived with mostly due to the fear of the air bag going off if I start playing around with it...

Really would like to hear if anyone has done something about it.

Cheers
