Just picked up a 95 Z28 convetrible. Fantastic car, but there's an issue.

I'm 6'6" and a little uncomfortable. I need to recline the seat a little more than I like.

Does anyone have any ideas or seat solutions to gain a little more headroom?



Thanks!

Dan

 

Getting the seat lower is about the only option. I have not seen anyone do this but I would get out a tape measure and see how tall the bottom of a Vet seats was.

I had issues with my non-reclining 2nd gen. I figured out where I wanted the seat remove the seat slider and bolted the seat to directly to the floor. I would advises against this because it tends to **** off you inspection mechanic if he is not tall

 

Will have to get in there and pull the seat, see if I can modify the mounting bracket.

Will still need to retain full seat movement as my wife drives this car sometimes. She is defintiely not 6'6".

 

I just got an 02 Camaro, I don't have power seats, which gives me more entry space, and I get extra leg room with the seat tilt. However, I am finding the seatback is too short. I have found that Firebird seats have a headrest, is this something that can be swapped in?

Thanks!

 

alotof parts that can be interchanged ,personaly I 6ft4 ,I like when my head is thrown back from the power my car has now ,ok I did it for you ebay 02 firebrd seats one set 200,00 auction another set 500.00 ,looks like trans am too ,I just put in 02 camaro seats an theres a lot of choices on ebay,for me putting the seat back gives me more head room ,cars not made for tall guys ,yes 6 ft 4 to 6ft8 is the limit without lower the seat an moveing it back .heck shaq has to have them take the back seat out ,had 77 caddy eldo just able to move the whole seat back 6 inches ,those were the days an a bigger car

 

you can move the seat back by making brackets, search the net there are some posts that cover it. heres one that modifies the track to get another inch http://ls1tech.com/forums/appearance...-seat-mod.html

 

My wife had trouble getting in or out of my 98 TA because of long legs, various operations on the leg/hip (and age;-). So I made some extension brackets to bolt to the floor and the seat tracks. It allows the seat to go back another 6" max. But that is probably too far because the seat belt doesn't fit well that way. She uses it about 1-2" farther back from before. FYI, as the seat goes back, it also goes lower.
