Phone book

Those sparco/momo/recaro (I forgot which) sliders that I saw the other day sure sit the tall, but then again you would need a racing bucket to fit them to.

 

ghetto trick- get longer bolts and stack washers under the seat rails... I have no accountabilty if you wreck or anything though.

Get civic seats, they do sit a little higher. Other than that, i dunno what to tell you.

 

if you have the cash to spend, get the jdm recaros'. i heard they seat higher
and fit better with smaller figure people

 

try new rails. heard good things about vision rails.

Del Sol seats.

 

The cheapest way:

Well, the washer spacers only work in the back side. For the front, you can fabricate a piece of metal with two holes and a extra bolt and nut per side (paint them in glossy black).

 

haha, guess you are right- I have never actually done it and I did not think of how it is on an angle; guess it may take more fab than it is worth!!! looks like a good reason to buy racing seats to me!!

good luck!!

he must be REALLY tiny. I am 5'5" and I fit fine.

 

hahahaha yea, i'm pretty tiny. goddamn genetics and the way of the world. oh well i guess i'm destined to not be able to see over the front of my car w/o getting new seats!!! i love my black seats with red stitching.. matches the steering wheel. well thanks anyways, had to try.

 

JDM recaros will fit you higher than stock

 

Also GSR seats will make you sit slightly higher as it doesn't have as soft of a cushion. When i got my ITR seats, i noticed i sat lower.

 

Ditto.

I'm short and with the seat in the "up right" position, my helmet brushes the headliner. With the seat reclined, it doesn't feel right at all but I do get the clearance I need. Bleargh.

Also compounding the problem is the Kenworth sized steering wheel the USDM ITRs are equipped with.

(I'm still looking for that stinking HKB Steering Boss that the S2K/Prelude guys seem to be using that has the correct airbag resistor/cable reel adapter/horn function. Hehe, I have a friend in Osaka right now looking but ... uhmmm ... she's not a car person =P)

 

a big *** fluffy pillow so your *** feels good too!
