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 |

I'll agree with Tim. I've got a MOMO Nascar seat, MOMO brackets fitted backwards so the back part of the seat is even lower. I had to notch the seat bracket to go over the crossmember. It is lower than stock and I think as low as you can go. I'm a shade over 6'. Here's a picture of me @ Sebring, you can see there is a fair amount of headroom.
