Best Seats for a Tall Guy of six foot six

[bretamo]

As the title mentions....I'm in search for the best seats for a tall guy. I like the stock seats, but mine are in need of replacing. The highback type seat would be a plus, given my head is well above the head rest right now. No need to get racing belts, would like to keep the standard seat belts.

What's the best option for a tall guy?

Thanks in advance.

maybe corbeau sport seats, IDK how good they are for tall ppl, but they retain a factory sporty look that still look godd with stock seat belts.

Why not take the stock seats to an upholstery shop and have them repadded and recovered or find a decent junkyard set?

Make some custom seat tracks... My dad did this, and although he didnt make his adjustable, you might be able to fab something up. His is perfect for him but sit way too low for me!

 

[bretamo]

Any tall guys have any suggestions?

I'm 6'3, relocate the seat brackets. if you are the only one in the car do a back seat delete so it wont look goofy with the fronts pushed all the way back to the rear seat

At six foot six; any darn seat you want is the best seat!!

6'5" here - I use the stock seats and have relocated the seat track on the seat. The holes are marked on the track you just need to drill them out and tap them or place a nut on the under side. I have been meaning to try to cut down the height of the stock seat by cutting the stock seat track risers (kind of like a chop-top on a car). I also tried the 04 cobra seats in my car and they put me way too high up Keep me posted and good luck.

i'm 6'4" and run a stock 86' GT seat, i like the feeling of sitting up high(i'm used to my truck), so my knees are close tot he dash, i've driven it so long like that i wouldent change a thing, it does make me want to see what i can do about moving it back tho..

Im 6'7 and find the stock seats ok.But am in need of new ones too because of the lean on the drivers seat! I hear94-99's are direct bolt ins but sit higher.Not good!

Just fix the lean

Just fix the lean

I'd have to take it all apart.Im not sure how to reconstruct it.

I dont think I can fix the lean or sag in my stangs seat either. That is why I am looking for good ideas for replacement seats.

Someone mentioned Corbeau sports seats, and I like the way they look. They have two kinds, the normal and the "wide".

Would the Corbeau "wide" seats fit okay in a 92gt? Does anyone have them installed?

In closing, its good to see other tall guys in the Fox bodies. For me, it is a sports car that I can actually fit in and feel confy. Cant say that about too many chevys.

I'm 6 foot even, and my 2000 gt seats fit like a charm, and I got about 3-4" between my head and the ceiling. I dont "gangster lean" when I drive either.

I think 6 foot 6 would sit pretty high up though... thats another half a foot.... damn... yea nevermind.

I'm 6'4''... I've found the only real solution are custom brackets, regardless of the seat you choose

wow how tall is everyone thread? Im 6'5"
your 6'7" good lord

 

[grey5.0beast]

5'11
and I'm young yet, grown an inch between doctors visits Looking for a subtle 6'1"

 

[Roland69]

Man I love being 5"11

6'6" here, I modified my brackets to get some more leg room but my stock tracks worked great for the first 3 years.

After reading the title, my first thought for an answer was the back seat.

As mentioned, the seat-track extenders might help ya (LMM has some for not too much $$, IIRC. KB used to have some but they might be scarce). I considered them awhile back but never got any, so no feedback.

Good luck.
