I can't, it's NSFP. This thread will get closed again.

I'm 6'4" so I can completely sympathize with you!

This is my Current Setup:
Steering Wheel: all the way out and in bottom position (I wish it went out further)
Leg Extension: all the way out (I wish it went out further)
Seat Bolster: 75% inflated
Seat Bottom: back part to the ground / front part all the way up
Seat Back: 90 degree angle form seat bottom which is inclined
Headrest: 3rd position (wish it could be adjusted higher vs. one position)
Lumbar: This is the area where I struggle the most and feel most back discomfort so I vary it every few days

Very similar to my setup mentioned on the first page. So we've found the sweet spot for tall folks!

I'm also 6'4"

This is my Current Setup:
Steering Wheel: all the way out and almost all the way down
Seat almost all the way back, forward just a bit
Seat Lumbar: 100% inflated
Seat Bottom: back part to the ground / front part all the way up
Seat Back: more or less 90 degree angle form seat bottom
Headrest: most of the way forward (one back from full forward?)
The seat back is the one I move depending on my driving.
My head also touches the roof, which is annoying, but this happens in almost every car - even the new Tundra!

Ok this might sound weird a bit but here goes: where do you plant your feet?

I have the fsport RWD, naturally my left foot rests on the metal footrest.

My right foot, however, is forced to rest at a weird angle between the brake and accelerator. I say forced because the floor has an indentation which my heel slides to and rests there. It's like a perfect cricular hole made just for your heel
This may be causing all my leg cramps. (crowded roads constant braking/accelerating at that angle).

Please advise

It is very important to have a comfortable seat.
