I too have this problem. Big shoes help.
haha yeah took me a while to learn how to drive a 6 puck in heels... but now I drive better in heels then in sneakers! lol
I am to tall for my 2G. I am 6 foot 2 inches tall, But I just have my sun roof liner open so I can stick my head there.

Well, I can kindof relate. I don't hit my head in my 2g. But in my gf's Celica, it's a different story. And speed bumps suck, esp at 45mph.

Now that I can't get my seat to go all the way back anymore, it really sucks with my head all up in the ceiling...

I'm 6'4" and 220lbs. The Sunroof liner thing is standard for me. I have the Sparco Fully adjustable Mounts with sliders for my Torino's. which raised my seat about an 1"
However I had LSE Mount my cage at an angle so that I can recline the back of my seats to help me with the head room. Pictures are located on my website or LSE's for that matter.
Not so much fun though when I have to use my 6pnt's when I strap myself in I can no longer reach the steering wheel so I have to adjust the back up to compensate.

Sounds like this forum has quite a few fellows that have a 6'-3" frame.
I am, and the couple times I have ridden/driven DSM's I hadn't noticed any problems, but I like to recline a bit because I'm a lanky sonofabitch.

For sure. It sucks though because I like to drive barefoot. How tall are you?

I'm 5'2"
shoot I couldnt even get the motorcycle I wanted (R6) because they couldn't lower it enough for me. So I had to settle for a GSXR because they can lower it enough. Even with it lowered all the way with a drag link mind you; I need to either wear 3" heels or shave me seat to have my feet flat on the ground :(
I wish I was like 5'6" lol
