Too tall for stock 01 Civic EX seats ? Any suggestions ?
 
Hello, I am 6 foot 3 and would like to find some aftermarket seats that are lower to the floor so my head stops hitting the roof ?

Any suggestion are greatly appriciated.

If you're on a budget, and im not sure how they'd mount in your whip....but Del Sol seats are pretty low, as are S2000 seats.

I think it has to do with the way you position your seat. I like to sit closer to the steering wheel and position my seat back straight, so I get less head room. My brother who is taller than me likes to sit farther from the wheel, and tilts the seat back more, so he gets more headroom than I do.

del sol seats are lower and are comfortable and are not too pricey, made a big difference in my eg when swapped

Yeah, I'm 6'1", and I have to ride with the seat tilted a bit. A real pain when I auto-X. I have to have the roof open so the top of the helmet will fit out it, and it's hard to get the seat positioned right to have good wheel control.

EDIT: The sunroof takes a few inches of clearance away, always forget that part. I might be fine in a car without it...

Del Sol seats are a lot lower to the floor, you shouldn't have any problems with those, as long as you don't have a problem forking out the money for them https://honda-tech.com/forums/images/smilies/emwink.gif not too expensive in the scheme of things, but still pretty pricey for regular run of the mill stock seats
