Being 6' 1" I am right there with you. I have gotten used to it and really only drive the car a couple of times a month. Weirdly I also came to realize that I am basically sitting in the seating position when I am in a race car. A while ago I bought a set of the brackets for moving the seats back for more leg room. I think they were made by Griggs racing. But my memory could be wrong. I could dig around this weekend and see if I could find them. There might be even better solutions out there.

Yes, there are brackets to relocate the seats further back. On a coupe the give 2-3”, but a bit less on a Vert due to the location of the seat belt reels.

I put a set in from CJ Pony Parts. Don’t recall the manufacturer. They do raise the seat height a bit - so be aware.

I just bought a set from LMR and they are awesome, it did raise seat approx. 1/2", but so much more comfortable--I'm also 6'2"

I found a set of Kenny Brown ones I bought years ago and never used. If you want them I will send them to you for the cost of shipping only. Let me know. I have three pictures I can send. Just email me at [email protected].

I believe LMR.com has them as well. They are my preferred vendor and are fast, with no Covid related delay excuses!
