Question for tall people - Toyota Yaris Forums

I have Sparco seats on Wedge brackets and it substantially lowered the seat, if you're under 5'10 you may have difficulty seeing low...my 5'4 friend wasn't comfortable driving it around the block.

Yes, I realize the age of the thread. Answering the person above me.

Do you now have more leg room (for the driver, with the driver's seat all the way back) than you did with the stock driver's seat?

You can make it have more leg room. Depending if you want the seat behind the drivers usable or not , once you start modding, it is all up to you.

It is my next mod. I am going to bolt the passenger seat to the floor as far back as possible and as low as possible, in a comfortable position of course, but they aren't going to be able to move it at all. Let them know what a rally co driver feels like.

The drivers one I will have sliders on, but it will be mounted as low as possible, and use all the space, since my back seat is somewhere in florida atm.

I just need to save money and figure out which single piece seats I want. The lighter the better.
