I'm 6'5" and a rather big guy. I'm looking for seats that are taller to give me more back support but won't take a ton of fabricating to install. Is anyone running taller seats that take few modifications?

I'm 6'3'' and rather big myself and I like 90-94 Mercury Capri seats. I got some off of craigslist for $25 for the pair and did the seat swap from DJ's how to articles. They weren't that hard to switch over just time consuming.

I think that they don't look that great and that your knees would be hitting the steering wheel. But that may be an option for you.OscarComment

Taller seat backs. The seat itself is good but the top of the Festiva seat hits me in between the shoulder blades. I like the look of the Capri seats.Originally posted by perucho View Post'93 Festiva GL / "HOT ROD"
