im 6'8 and i fit just fine in my sc 300
all you need to do is put the seat back.....or possibly get some bucket style or racing seats and have them cover with leather...that should drop you down some

dam*...6'8 :eek: Hoops, how tall r u and what team did u "warm" for? I am only 5"11 but am still growing (supposse dto be 6'2 when i stop), but i drive like i am 6'5 or something like that. I have my seat as low as possible, and have it reclined pretty far down. I prolly look like i am some rap star or something, except that i am a 17 yr. old white boy. Mabye i am just getting ready for that lil growth spirt of a few inches so i dont hit my head on the roof.
ohioboy: U could always just open the sunroof, and then lean a lil towards ur right so when u hita bump, etc., u will just go through the sunroof.

I've seen this done before;you remove the upholstery from the seat,and "scoop" away some of the foam cushion right where your butt goes.It's usually good for a couple inches anyways,and can really improve the seat overall.

I'm 6'2" and all I do is lean the seat pretty far back and bring the steering wheel as close as it'll go and I'm straight. I do have long as legs though, my torso's pretty short, so my head's got a lot of room.

Thats ez, snoopdogg gin& juice, anyone who listens to any rap should know that, its a classic :P
Also helps if you open your sunroof visor thing, gives you probably an inch of room, but you have to sit pretty far back I belive, Its hard 4 me 2 remember, I havent driven my car 4 like 6 months, but I should be getting it back this week

im 6'4 will i have a problem sitting in it, i have yet to buy one, but i'm trying to find out some information on them until i can afford one, so if i put the seat down and lay it back a little with my arm stretched out "like a rapstar" i think some1 said that, i should be fine right? i have yet to sit in one of these cars, so im going on what you guys are saying

Yea Twirl, I'm 6'0" and I have a problem. If I open the sun visor shade (not the actual glass in the roof) I get an extra inch BUT i have to sit crooked....lean to the right so my head is on that opening a bit. Maybe it would not be a problem if I was bald but I also have not lost any of my hair! Heaven help the guy that is over 6'-0" and has a spiked up hairdoo!
This is my only complaint on this car....not too bad for a 7 year old car that has 75000 miles and still rides and looks like showroom.

Put in supra seats. They are boltin and you gain 1" of headroom.
My post under supra interior.
Mark IV supra seats seem to come in black and tan leather. Mark III seats don't look like a good option. I've seen prices for $500 - 750. Try supraforums.com and thepartstrader.com. The black leather doesn't lookk bad in my grey car, but it does not seem to be of the same high quality as the lexus leather.
Leatherseats.com offers many different colors which seems like there should be a good match. I am waiting for the leather samples to choose the best match. I was quoted $599 for front only. I think you can get 2-tone for the same price. From what I hear other companies offer covers, but the $599 seems like a good price.
The way I look at it $600 for 2 seats and $600 to custom cover means $1200 for 2 seats vs $1200 for 1 leather Recaro or Sparco in black or tan (if you get the higher end ones with adjustability).
For me the other big advantage is that I gained 1" headroom with the supra seats where I am told you loose headroom with the Sparco and Recaro due to the hight of the mounting brackets and rails.
On the flip side the comfort and lateral support of the supra seats are nothing like the stock Recaros I have in my Audi (S6).
