Re: DONT FIT
with the corbeu seats you get a lil more room and you sit lower for sure. My buddy had red ones in his ek hatch and im 6'3-6'4 around there and i was all the way back and it was perfect for me.

Re: DONT FIT
I'm 6'6 and I fit in my ek fine. You can either move the mounting brackets back and hack up your car or deal with it. Some of the nicest cars on the earth seem like they were built for midgets...but as jeremy clarkson from Top Gear would say "I can fit into anything I want to" lol.

Re: DONT FIT
I'm 5'3 and have to have my seat way up in my '98 Civic. In my '93 Accord I have to have it as close to the front as possible. lol
I can't offer advice on what seats and rails might be a good idea for taller people, but if it's going to be a problem with head room I would recommend NOT getting a car with a moonroof. The moonroof cuts out about two extra inches of head room.

Re: DONT FIT
are we talking about leg space or head space???
Just recline. Maybe try delsol rails? I know they fit eg's, but i heard that they make you sit lower. I'm not completely sure they'll fit ek's though, just a thought.

Re: DONT FIT
Alot of tall people here, geez.
5'11", fit perfect in my EJ6.
Depending on your budget and preference you may do what others have suggested already.
Either try different rails, or seats, or both.
Good luck.

Re: DONT FIT
I am short. Someone taller wants to drive my car. They get in and make funny noises and facial expressions as they try to fit into my seat without first pushing it back a little bit.

Re: DONT FIT
Don't get me wrong he looked hilarious... He had the seat all of the way back and reclined very very far but he always claimed to be comfortable... He looked at new cars recently and couldn't find any that he liked and also fit in as well as his civic... To play jokes on him I always used to move his seat up 1 click, it would drive him nuts...

Re: DONT FIT
I'm 6'5" and I fit just fine. In fact I don't think I have the seat all the way back and the steering tilt isn't all the way up. Hmmm, sorry to hear that you are having trouble fitting, but maybe you should check the tracks for debris or some ****.
