I want to put in new seats with better side bolster. I will have the car on the track so racing seats are an option. But have not run into a seat that I can sitin without hitting my head on the roof.
What seats are out there for a tall guy wearing a helmet? Now are there any that can be had for a reasonable price? Chris |

If you're tall, the choices are very limited. I have found that the best option for me is to remove the bottom seat cushion from the stock seat. That puts me another couple of inches lower down in the car, and gives my hips some lateral support.
There are a couple of other seats based on the stock seats (e.g., Renegade's seat, Scheel or Koenig seats) that are as low as the stock ones. AFAIK, most or all of the regular aftermarket racing seats are going to sit higher up in the car than the stock seats. Stock seats from any other car I know of will be significantly higher. --DD |
