Resurrecting an old thread here - is it possible to install some sort of spacer/washer on the front bracket of the seat, to rake the seat cushion back a touch and gain some more thigh support?
I've been trying everything, I seem to have a sensitive back. (5'6", could stand to gain a few...) |

At 5"6 I think you should be able to have a good starting position.
I'm 6" and my only complaint is that the steering wheel doesn't telescope enough. I have long legs, so my knees keep hitting the steering wheel. TO answer your question, yes you can install a spacer but its not really a popular mod as I haven't heard anyone doing it. |

The best way is probably to have a knowledgable professional create custom foam & cover for your driver's seat. Might be expensive though. Also, the height adjustment modifies your seat's angle in relationship to the wheel. The higher it's set, the more the seat is "tilted" toward the steering wheel. |

Cool - it looks like it ranges from 14 degrees at the top to 17 degrees at the bottom. I had no idea. I had it midway because I’m shorter, but I’m going to try now with it towards the bottom for that lean-back. Thank you! |
