I learned to move my foot only to reach the pedals rather than foot and leg, that helped a lot. Now I can see XD BTW, I have an AT, no clutch makes it easier.

yep, this is exactly the reason I won't buy a stick. angling your foot can give you cramps, but the beauty of it is you get use to it.....after a while. a long while.

I was thinking about buying a racing seat w/ some lowering seat rails thinking that might eliminate the problem. however, that's a lot of time and money. I'm, hoping someone makes lowering seat rails for the stock seats, as I'm sure this problem will come up in the future for other tall guys who are long in the legs. visiting a fabrication shop is also an idea, but that seems like it might be expensive. too bad the seat can't go back any further, just lower (and it's not that low out of the factory, IMO- sit in a Porsche Boxster of 911- that's low).

I do, on the other hand, hit my head on the headliner from time to time. I wish the seat went lower (I've already adjusted it down as far as the lever let's it go)


Sent from...somewhere?
my only issues is when i go to cover the brake pedal I have to angle my leg which leads to my knee rubbing the steering wheel. when my foot is on the brake I can get it under, no problem. it's very awkward though.
