Kenny Brown makes them. I think it's ~ $100 per seat.

I have them and enjoy them very much I am 6'2 and I have to scoot my seat forward now to get comfy. They are perfect for the openhighway too. With the rails all the way back I cant touch the pedals hardly. They are a fairly simple install, you just have to drill two holes in the floorbard for the extra supports for the rails.

That was the first thing that came to mind for me, but what also came to mind was that if someone has their seat back this far, how the heck does he reach the shifter? Monkey arms?

Squares98, do the extensions cause the seat to sit up higher?

It will make the seat sit lower when when it is adjusted back further than stock, otherwise it is the same height as the stock rails.

This won't work on an '02 GT driver's side (don't know about other years). There's a bump up at the end of the rail that nests into a hollow molded into the bottom of the seat. When you move the rail forward the bump up has nothing to nest into.

It will work on the passenger side though.

Squares98, thanks for the reply. Yeah Jakes, I wanted to try the mw seat mod. I took out my drivers side seat, but couldn't see a way for it to work.

Looks like the KB seat extensions are the way to go...

this is a source of much aggrivation for me. i am 6' tall and with the seat all the way back, my legs are still quite cramped. seems like ford engineered the mustang to be driven by people 5'10" and under.

green, i think you hit the nail on the head. Ford probably conducted a demographic study on the drivers of mustangs (especially V6 ones) and found that 98% are under 6' tall. So the seats are designed for them.
