Best Racing Seat For Tall Guys

danegrey

question, when you say you do not fit in the Z with your helmet on, what do you mean.
I am 6' 2" to 3", and with the regular seats never had a problem sitting in the car. Now getting in and out with the helmet on is something else so the helmet comes off.

I installed Recaro cross sportster cs, but they are more comfortable for me, look good, but did not really lower the seat.

Is the driving position uncomfortable when you drive?

What I mean is there is not enough headspace for me to sit in the car with a helmet on. Sitting in my normal position I only have about 1-1.5 inches of space between the top of my head and the headliner. I have the base seats as low as they will go and the back is fairly upright, where you would want it for a good driving position. For my daily driving I have no problem with the comfort of the seats, driving more than 2 hours my butt gets a little sore but nothing unbearable.

Would really like to see what others are doing. I have the same issue.

know about the butt and lower back, not a problem with the Racro...

I have to check today on having the seat more upright, usually, I move the seat closer to drive, then farther back...

Yea man I try to keep my seat in a good driving position all the time just in case I needed to make any quick reactions. Have it just the right distance from the pedals for my long legs and sitting pretty upright to keep a good bend in my elbows for steering. Will probably have to make some small adjustments when I get a racing seat as I will be sitting lower. I would just hate to go buy a seat and mounts and then it still not be low enough for me to fit with a helmet, which is why I'm asking here for anyone that has the same issue.

It's not all about total height but proportion. I'm 6'1" and I can't even put my seat as uptight as I'd like and there's no way I'd fit with a helmet without scooching down considerably to a very uncomfortable position. I'd also love to see an option for lowering the seat as well and options for spacing out the steering wheel.
