Oh wow, we almost have the exact same body. Will definitely try a lumbar pillow and report back.



It is indeed very strange. My inseam is 32". I would say I'm slightly more legs than torso. The fact that you're heavier and taller and still manage to be comfortable gives me hope.



This gave me a good chuckle. That's probably how I look sitting in my car.

I just might be sitting wrong lol.

Thanks everyone for the suggestions. I didn't expect this thread to blow up like this. I'll definitely give it a couple of days and report back with any updates.

May b stating the obvious but have you tried a wide range of height adjustments? Start at the very lowest and give it a couple of pumps up every other time you drive it and see if you hit a sweet spot. That is what I did.

^that's the reason i suggested moving the seat forward slightly.

i've found that if i move the seat too far back for my 6'0" 200 pound self, the very front edge of the seat constricts the blood vessels under my knee's leading to uncomfortable legs.

by varying the seat height, and keeping the seat closer than i'd prefer, it completely fixes the problem.

You're sitting too far back. You're just used to having to put the seat all the way back out of habit. This seat actually has a nice angle for longer legs.

Pro tip I learned from my HPDE coach: With arms pulled back so shoulder blades sink into the seat, hands should be able to droop over the top of the steering wheel, wrists bent.

You short people underestimate the unique skills tall people develop in order to squeeze ourselves into your miniature world.

Yeah, I was about to comment similar since I didn't see anybody mention it till you.

@tylerthegoat try to adjust the seat height if you haven't already. Not just the distance it is from the dash with the rail or the back. One of the handles on the side is a "pump" that lets you change the height and can help a lot.

Special scissors?

Doesn't the steering wheel also go in and out a bit on the twins?

A surprising number of people have not been aware that the seat even does go up and down. It actually has quite a range.

I was surprised to learn that the passenger seat didnt.

Just enough to keep hope alive.
