6'6"... how can i change the seats?-- I searched
I'm 6'6" and i LOVE my honda. I want to know if i could move the seat futher back? or if their were longer seat rails i could install, or if i could just modify it to accomidate? is there some kind of solution? (sp..?)
Most people just say, "sell your car!" or "why did u get that car?"... selling it isn't an option... i like it too much!

Aight dude, im 6'4" and i feel your pain. Knees are like an inch from the stearing wheel and you can't rotate the wheel cuz your hands hit them. yea it sucks.
GSR seats are a cheap fix, they bolt up to our rails and sit a little lower.
better idea is ot just get one sport seat (momo is perfect) or somthing like that. Just don't get one red seat.

i'm 6' 4" and used to drive an ef. i found it uncomfortable because the steering wheel sat so close to my legs i couldn't move them laterally. it got so bad i started getting back problems from the restricted movement. i got a small diameter steering wheel to give my legs better movement. it allowed me to move my legs side to side without hitting the wheel at all. i don't know if that would help you or not...

My sons are 6'7" and 6'8". One of them won't even ride in my CiViC and the other has to lay the seat down almost to the back seat.
I figure - no pain, no gain...

Hey, I think I finally found a positive to only being 5'8", hehe I fit great in my Civic.
But I want to suggest the aftermarket seat thing, my buddy who is 6'7" had to get one for his 95' EX, he looked soo funny driving his car before, it looked like he was driving a toy, haha

Might try some del sol seats. I am 6' 4" and am fine with del sol's. The steering wheels is still in the way, but once i get a smaller one it wont be as bad.

A rather tall friend of mine recommends Recaro Trends, he loves his and he says it helps al lot for comfort for his over 6 ft frame.

im 6'6 and with all my **** for ball and school in my back seats theres hardly any room for me. its insane. i got some 1991 honda civic si seats in my 96 hatch it sits a little lower but not so much. also my dads 5'9 and my moms 5'0 and no one else in my family is over 5'11 its probably something in the water here in washington.

Haha... I too am 6'6"... I'm 17.
I have the seat all the way back and I've found that leaning it back also helps. No chance of anybody sitting behind me, but I've got more room in my car than almost any other I've driven... including Mom's 2000 Accord, and a friend's '93 Integra. I've got a 93 CX.
