Hey all!! Im wondering is anyone knows definitively of any aftermarket (or otherwise) seats that would sit the driver (and passenger) lower and back further in an SRT-6 Roadster? At 6'3", I basically feel like Im driving a sprint kart and would love to sit lower in the car, as well as further back if possible.
Im not looking to fabricate mounts, but I understand that most aftermarket seats seem to be universal, so I'd need to buy a bracket to adapt the seat to the car, which is no problem.
I'd like to do this as a simple remove/replace, and use the stock seatbelts if possible. I also understand that I'll probably losing some conveniences like the power movement and heated seat, but Im more than willing to give that up if I can get some more room in the car.
Any ideas or definite solutions?
Thanks!!
Nikko

 

have you removed the knee bolster on the dashboard yet? it makes a big difference!

 

No, actually, I didnt even know there was such a thing!! I've been UNDER the dash a few times to change the cabin filter, and to connect a chip to the OBD port, but I havent seen anything resembling a bolster... I gotta look again. I seems that I wouldnt have missed that, unless they were taken off by the previous owner.
By any chance, got a picture of them?

Chip? ....................
There is always Padgetts SAWZALL solution.

 

I am 6'6 had a roadster and was comfy,now I got a hardtop remove the knee bolster tons of legroom,you must got super long legs

 

+1 on removing the knee bolster plastic piece, made a nice difference for me at 6'2"

 

I appreciate the answers, but on a USA spec SRT-6, Im gonna have to yank the panel off to see where this bolster is. I dont really understand it from the pics of that car in the link that didnt seem to have it from the get-go (which was a Euro-spec car, if Im understanding correctly?)

Anyway, thanks again for the info posted.

 

Let us look at this logically, a knee bolster would be found near your knees, somewhere your knees might bump into in a crash. I would not think that it is hidden from sight behind the panel.
So look where your knees are and see what part of the dash your knees might bump into if you slid forward.
Could this be it? The part that lies just under the light switch maybe?

SO.jpgBolsterOff.jpgThe panel is upside down in this pic and the knee bolster is off.

 

Yeah, maybe. Thx

 

*Bump*
So aside from all the answers about knee bolsters, no one has changed the seats in their SRT-6 for Recaro's, or Brides, or Momo's, etc and has an opinion on the diff in seating position??

 

we have changed a few seats to sparcos over the years but never with the main purpose of more room. I imagine the sparco r100 seat would give the most room for you as it is a pretty basic seat. we have the needed seat bases for the conversion.

 

Sounds interesting....link?
