I searched.
I'm 6'1" and my head brushes the headliner with the ideal seat adjustment. Just curious if anyone else has taken action. Modify seat? Inexpensive racing seat?

 

I am interested in the answer as well

 

I've had my driver seat out for a rebuild and they are as low as you can get them without some major modding. I am 6'2" and have a 88 Si with sunroof. I don't have this issue, but i can see how some might. An aftermarket fixed back seat could help but provides a whole host of other potential problems. One option would be to cut out the "welded in nuts" and clearance a spot to drop the rails down....

Im 6'2" and i dont have a problem, try reclining the seat a notch or two

 

I am 6'4" and have SI seats in my 90 STD, I know what you mean. If the roads get curvy I bring the seat up a few nothes, otherwise I have it reclined in a comfortable position. But my shoulders never touch the upper part of the seat. I have never hit my head or anything. My torso is even with my leg length...

I would love if there was a way to lower it about 2" though.

 

Std has a higher roof line than a crx si or civic si (sunroof drops it down 1-2")

 

Reclining the back does band-aid the problem, but when I do that I find that my arms are too short. So, to band-aid that, I've got to move the seat forward a bit. Then my legs are too long...

This is why the CRX remains garage queen and the Civic gets the most use.

This is what I had in mind...I just need to find a reasonable shape 90-91 seat to do it to. My car is too mint to start cutting up.

 

Swaped del Sol seats into the pans...I fit perfectly damn us tall freaks

lol

 

I might try this... 6'7" + a 91 sedan doesn't work out too well.

Wuss...lol

&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt; 6'5.5" tall,300+lbs...I fit "cozy".
Though my kids get a laugh every time I get out of the car .

Then again I don't have a sunroof either .

 

will dc seats make it lower? as much as i remember they seemed lower in my 98 hatch..

 

all you guys are huge... 5'10 and 140.. i fit like a glove

 

have you tried removing the seat and sitting in the back like on police academy?

I'm 6'1 with long legs and monkey arms as my wife puts it. I have a 88si and I dont have any issues. I've got one click left to go back and I've got the seat leaned back one click as well.

 

im about 6'2" and my 89 si fits me just fine...i even have about 2 clicks i could slide the seat back....

 

88 CRX SI. im 6' 1". i used to hit my head if i sat upright in the correct position. i got a f1spec bucket seat (cheap, $200) and mounted it on the stock rails. i no longer hit my head. i love it.

How much did this lower the seating position?

The side bolsters are much better on them anyway.

 

im 6'5 and i had this problem till i just went out and found some del sol rails and swaped them to my eg seats
it lowered my seat bout 3 inches

in a crx it should do about the same im assuming

 

im 6'2 as well and i have no problems with my head hitting the roof since i put my seat all the way back and i don't sit up straight.

 

im 6'2" and no prob, i got an crx si and dont hit...how can u be that tall and ur arms be that short...

 

Get a steering wheel extension. That will work the best, then you can recline the seat and have it moved back for legs as well.

 

outstanding!!!!!!!!!!!! SIred91
