A Favor for owner(s) - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

I was wondering if someone could take 5-10 minutes to post two specific pictures for me.

The first picture being a side view photo with the door open focused on the driver's seat in the lowest position (vertical)

The second people being from the same view but with the driver's seat cranked to its highest position.

And to avoid all confusion, I am not referring to reclining the seat forward and backwards.

Please and thank you

There's about a 1-1.5 in difference in height. The seat moves up and towards the pedals when raising the seat. Hope this helps

Thanks for taking the time to do this.

I've sat in two BRZs. The first one, I was just overwhelmed and didn't focus on the little things.

The second time, I really noticed that my visibility wasn't too good, but I didn't take the time to adjust the seat position at all.

I'm coming from a 2000 Celica and I'm only 5'5. I sit fairly close to the wheel with more a proper back support position.

Yeah I'm 5'6" so same boat. The steering wheel can be adjusted towards you as well so it actually fits pretty well with the seat a bit higher.

I think this is more than 1-1.5"
If you look at the rear of the seat, vs center or front, and also use the frame/kick panel as a reference point, it seems like there is a difference which would indicate that the whole seat tilts forward while raising. So, the front may be 1+ but the rear of the seat or the reclining mechanism looks to be 3" or more.
