I don't like driving with my seat all gangster leaned back and ****. What the heck do you guys do? Have you guys effectively lowered the seat some how or had better luck with some racing seats?
I'm 6'1 and I've got a 4th gen, which is a little less spacious than the 5th and I do just fine w/ the seat not all the way back and w/ the seat leaned up. My friend who's 6'4 has to slide it all the way back though. I know a guy who had a 5th gen and was 6'5 and he was fine in it and only seemed to lean the seat back a little more than I do.

I'm 6'4", its a pain, and there doesn't seem to be anything that anyone knows to lower the seat. I've called around (race seat manufacturers, seat rail manufacturers) and no one knew if the seat would help and even warned that it might raise the seat height.

Im 6 foot 3 and its kinda of gay. I have to lean the seat back and if i gel my hair up sometimes it hits the roof. I have about inch and half of head space. My friend told me that some aftermarket seats sit lower.

All you tall people are complaining about sitting to far back or too high. Us short people don't complain about sitting to close to the steering wheel where if the airbags deploy it would nail us in the face hard!!! i'm only 5'4" and I sit about 4 notches back with a little lean. Pretty good position for me but I would rather be around 5'10" but what can I do about it right.
