Tallest FR-S/BRZ driver? - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

bigjake · 09-12-2012, 11:09 PM

I'm 6'8", and I'm definitely challenging the spacial limits of my FR-S. Just wondering if theres any other tall drivers out there, and if any of our venders are planning on making Lowering kits for the seats, that work with the oem seats, just like the Vipers.

At least he didn't hit the letter to the left of "O" when he typed that.

Everyone stop making fun of my angry inch!!

I'm 6'6" and was also a tight squeeze on my test drive. Looking at maybe removing the rear seats to allow me to put the seat further back, but a lowering rail set would be good too

yea, my rear seats are already gone.

Did you put in any form bracing in its place? How much extra movement in the rail does removing the seats give you?

I really like the stock seats and would rather not shell out for aftermarket seats

6'5'' here, also been scanning the net trying to find someone that offers a way to lower the seat....including maybe even buying a new seat,....removing the rear seat is also in my future......being tall has always given me problems with the rear view mirror causing a blind spot when at four way stops...on all vehicles my line of sight is in direct line with the rear view mirror unless I recline the seat to uncomfortable settings.....I want to finally fix that with this car.

I'm 6'6". i would love to be able to get the seat back another inch

merlin2111 · 10-01-2012, 10:37 PM

6'7" but I am used to an NA miata my BRZ will feel like a king sized bed.

6'2" and the driving position is perfect for me

cf6mech · 10-02-2012, 12:12 AM

merlin2111,.....how the heck do you fit in a Miata?,.....road to lunch with a friend of mines Miata and my knees were up to my ears. I call FRS/BRZ the tall persons Miata,....as even my 6'8'' buddy fits in it. I got enough leg room and the smaller steering wheel helps big time,.....if I could just lower the seat 1'' I would be happy.
