Default Best way to improve head room.

I am thinking of getting new seats, some corbeaus, i know they will lower me down but i dont really know how much, my friend has them in his 510, but im wondering if anyone has advice for a crx.

If you wanna fit better. Just slouch or do the gangsta with the seat laying all teh way down.

But ya there are some corbeaus that are made for taller people with the rails you can adjust the hight and lower u down a bit.

there is definitely a variance in torso length and leg length between folks. i'm 6'2" and do NOT fit into my rex without reclining the seat to a silly position. yet i know a fellow, 6'6" who fits into a toyota paseo perfectly. barf. i think i may have to get race seats just to fit corfortably... either that or get creative with a torch and welder. anybody done anything with stock seats to change height?

I'm 6'2 and I definately have plenty of headroom in my hatchback, but is the CRX roof a little lower?

Some Japanese companys make a seat braket that sits very low, but if you don't want to go that with that your best bet would be delsol seats. Its one of the only seats thats lower than your stock seat, unless you but a fixed racing seat. good luck!
