i need to get closer to the floooor! i hit my head on the ceiling all the time!.. any ideas besides moving my seat back any farther.. i'm only 6 foot.. but my arms aren't that long,, so i'm allready extending them reaaally far, can't go back any farther without missing the stearing wheel intirely.. i will pay for aftermarket seats, i just need to be loooower!  my head aches! i swear....
its fine for normal driving,, but if i'm making tight turns are slidding a lilttle bit i move around a little bit and my head tends to smash the left side roof thingy... by the door.. u know what ii'm talking about... anyhow,, any suggestions would be appreciated.. <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'> i'm dying here.

Go into the shirnking machine, it will reduce your size...hahaha..j/k.....

Nah, but really, just buy aftermarket seats, with rails, and have then welded to the floor, you will sit lower, no more &quot;headaches&quot;

I am 6'1&quot; and I used to feel very cramped, but I don't anymore... When you take turns, just lean back in the seat so it will hold you in place... I don't understand how you are flinging about when turning. Do you wear a seatbelt?

I have the same problem. Rather than lowering the seat, is it possible to make the steering wheel closer? Leaning the seat back even a tiny bit makes it really hard to steer from the top of the wheel.

aftermarket seats will raise your seat, not lower it. &nbsp;just change the seat angle. &nbsp;i'm 6'4&quot; and i fit fine with the seat tilted

I'm about 6'2&quot; and i'm fine in my s13... If you're being tossed around that much... maybe you want to invest in a 4-point, or some new shocks....

danio, &nbsp;we are in the same boat... when i lean back far enough to be confortable.. i can't confortably reach the top of the steering wheel... whats the deal... stupid stupid cars...

Dragon, your sig pic is sweet, but do you think there's a way of making it just a bit smaller. (So that we don't have to move the horizontal line to view it.) If you need help, send it to me, I'll reformat it and send it back to you. Thanks!
