Tall guy seats?


Recommended Posts

Just a heads-up to everyone about seats....

 

I cannot recommend the type of seat that uses a mechanical plate to provide lumbar support.

 

I had a Conquest and was rear-ended at the age of 30 - 23 years ago. I still have problems with my lower back - right where that plate was. The entire rear of the car was crunched into the rear wheels.

 

If you want/need lumbar support - get seats with inflatable bladders!

 

I may decide to try and modify the stock seats with some welding and utilizing air bladders and closed cell foam and some garbage bags in order to get more support - at least I'll know I have enough headroom. (I'm ~5'11 1/2" and inseam is 30")

Here is the problem area you will find with the later S30 chassis that came equipted with catalytic converters. They have a "hump" in the transmission tunnel to allow for more clearance in this area. This just gets in the way when mounting most modern seats.
