Question 95 SC300 powered/heat leather seats worth?

I want to get some lighter seats for my SC, but still want them to be relatively comfortable for those long road trips. If I sold them, I'd sell them as complete sets with rails and heaters, etc. How much are these front leather seats worth?:

As much as someone is willing to pay!

In all seriousness, Aliga sells them for $160 shipped each, so it's a starting point.

That is dirt cheap! Why are they sold so cheap in this condition when new seat covers cost ~$400?!

Because even the newest factory seats are still almost 10 years old. And no matter what anyone says, leather that is 15 years old is nowhere near as nice as brand spankin new. Personally, I'll spend the extra 100 bucks or so and get new.

Heated seats come in the 5 speed, too, because I have them in my mine.

Does anyone know if there is a way to lower SC300 seats 1-2 inches beyond their oem limit? As of now, I sit just 1-2 inches higher than my liking in the seats. If there is a way to lower the seat 1-2 inches lower than their lowest setting, I may end up keeping them since they're hella comfortable!

I've already tried that, if I could lower the seat 1-2 inches, it would be perfect.
