Default RV-8 seat cushion depth?

Hi all,

Whilst awaiting a reply from the seat makers, would anyone know the seat cushion depth offered by Abby when using her confor-foam product? RV-8, both front and rear seats if known. When under 1g compression (175 pounds), roughly how much will they squish by?

Many thanks...

You actually need to "test" fit yourself and a backseater. Use phone books, etc. and come up with the desired thickness that you are comfortable with. The person cutting the foam will allow for the compression.
