need more headroom

[tomservo]

The drivers seat has the electronic up/down switch and even all the way down, I could still use a little more room. I was considering a "racing" seat, but didn't know if it would give and extra headroom. Any one with some wanna chime in? Thanks.

Recline the seat a little, at 6'2" I have tones of head room.

[orkachowski99]

im 6' 1" and with a reclined seat, im also fine.

[B3NN3TT]

I'm 6'4" - no complaints here. Do you have a huge bouffant or a mohawk or something?

[Yofavcracka]

im 6'2" and im fine too.

[whiteboy477]

open the sunroof

[skull_heaven]

6'1" and fine

[Yofavcracka]

lol, open the sunroof and buy sunglasses to keep bugs out of your face.

I did recline the seat, but then (of course) I feel like I'm not sitting straight enough. I'm 6'3. It doesn't bother me much around town, but on a 2 1/2 hour drive, I'm bouncing around like an addict coming down. Is the electronic seat standard or common? Do all of you who replied have it?

My racing seats are sort of like the rear seats, they suck your butt into them. Though I'm 5'6" so I don't need to worry about head room ;)

Im 6'2" with an electric seat and as far as I remember, if I put the seat all the way "down", i have about 7 or 8 inches of head room AT LEAST and its hard to see over the dash haha..

racing seats may be alittle lower, i know with the way i bolted my to the stock brackets it made me site lower.

I have Corbeau brackets, and I had to have them cut down to fit in the car, it was not any damn fun the few days I had them in there. I still sit higher then stock, but its fine now.

I'm 6'4ish and I fit just fine in the stock seats. The key is to use all your options, horizontal, vertical, reclining the seat, adjusting the steering wheel, all that crap, and tweak until you find what is best for you.

Most racing seats actually LOOSE a bit of head room Vs Power drivers seat. Now im not sure of the case Vs Stock buckets and all that. But most racing seats dont come with or are hard to find a quality ajustable bracket.


Also you loose about 3/4 of an inch to a moon roof over a standard roof.

[whiteboy477]

yea but it the sun roof opens he can stick his head out that. It will be like riding a motorcycle

[tomservo]

Unfortunately, my sunroof won't open. Fortunately I have a VFR750 with plenty o headroom. Guess I'll just have to work it out. Thanks everyone

[orkachowski99]

i dont think, but dont hold this against me, that electric seats go back as far as regular, manual seats.

[tomservo]

Well the only part of my seat that is electric is the height adjustment. The rest is all manual.

[seaneyo99]

Well im 5'7" and for some reason i drive with the seat all the way back in my car and have no problem what so ever reaching the cluth or anything like that and its also comfortable. But when i get in to Cody's cougar he has his seat all the way back and i cant even reach the pedals?:shrug: *I have Leather Full power seats*

[02AlaskanCougar]

I'm 6'3 and have no problems and my roomate is 6'7 and didn't need to adjust the seat any and had no problems...

[tomservo]

Thanks for all the input. I think my biggest problem is that I find the seat uncomfortable in general. I don't understand why "everyone" seems to have not problem with their headroom and are my approx. height. I must be ackward.
