Anyone too tall for their dsm?
 

Im coming to realize that my car just isnt too comfortable as I need to lean my head to the right in the sunroof spot to fit in the damn thing. My power seat is pushed all the way down too. Anyone else have this problem And a possible solution?

I have a racing seat Im thinking about putting in. Its a sparco speed seat. You think this will lower the seat height?

Re: Anyone too tall for their dsm?
 

I think the other seat will probably lower it a little, but it most likely will need rails unless you already have some. You could just lean your seat back until it is almost on the back seat like most of the cool people do though.

I'm not too tall I'm too short!!! I have to have the seat all the way up! If I ever get into a car accident that air bag is definitly killing me!

Re: Anyone too tall for their dsm?
 

Yah I have that proplem too ;). But In my friends 1G I hit my head a bit. My solution: Ride like a thug!

I too have this problem. Big shoes help.

Re: Anyone too tall for their dsm?
 

I fit pretty well in my 1G. Only problem I have is that I can barely see the hood, but thats no biggie. Good thing we have bucket seats. With normal seats I'd be hitting my head too...

Who isn't to tall? My head rubs against the roof liner during normal driving. And when I race with a helmet on I have to tilt my head to the side.

Ya, Im a constant thug head leaning driving dsm machine. I feel like those old taco bell commercials w/ the shaq neck syndrome.(anybody remember?) But ya well see if theres a way cause I love the damn car so I want there to be a way to be comfortable. Talking to lse

Sounds like this forum has quite a few fellows that have a 6'-3" frame.

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

Re: Anyone too tall for their dsm?
 

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.

Re: Anyone too tall for their dsm?
 

yea me too..it really sucks because my apt has speed bumps and now matter how slow i go i hit my head on the roof

Re: Anyone too tall for their dsm?
 

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.

Re: Anyone too tall for their dsm?
 

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...

Re: Anyone too tall for their dsm?
 

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.

Re: Anyone too tall for their dsm?
 

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.

Re: Anyone too tall for their dsm?
 

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

Re: Anyone too tall for their dsm?
 

That sucks.

Re: Anyone too tall for their dsm?
 

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
