Default How tall are you S2K owners???

I have an RSX-S and have really considered a 01-03 S2K. Problem is I am 6'4" and at about 235lbs. It feels ok when I drive them on the lot but, I want to know if you taller guys use them as fun daily drivers or as second vehicles. Also could a set of aftermarket seats help with being able to get the seat to go back just a tad more?
Thanks in advance.

6'-1"
195lbs.

I fit about right for daily driving. Have a hard time seeing stoplights without hunching over (when top is up). Several posts on S2Ki about this. There is a trick that modifies the OE seat to lower it about 1/2 - 3/4". The best aftermarket seats are race shells (Mugen, Spoon, etc) but few would allow a guy your size to fit. You'll find that many seats won't fit because the bolsters are too big to fit in the car.

S2Ki.com is THE best resource for S2K info on the web. Join the boards and welcome!

Oh, and I'm 6'1 and about 195...the only problem I have is seeing stoplights with the top up, but then it's not that big of a deal.

I'm 5'10" 170lbs. and I did fit fine, but now it's a little cramped because I put in a Cusco Roll Bar and Corbeau seats and it pushed the seat forward a little bit. Stock, not a problem.
