I'm 6'5" and have no problems. But you are one inch taller than me.

compress your spine!!! Seriously tho, after-market sport buckets seem like a viable option, since the GS seats offer more support, meaning they have more cushion, thus less head room, right? Sport bucket seats should have less cushioning, thus giving you more head room. Only thing with that is, the brackets might need modifying as well.

6'5"....if I adjust the seat back far enough for ample head room...the steering wheel is too dang far away. Move it up and get comfy and my head rubs the headliner....think its just different driving style. I just move it back and steer from the bottom sides of the steering wheel now...not tryin to look like don king when I step out of the car..

Okay, so I'm finally going to DD a GS. Rather than start a new thread, I figured I'd revive this one so y'all would remember that the mockery has already taken place.

I know on many cars, one solution is to remove some of the foam on the seat bottom. Has anyone done this on a GS?

Any other ideas?

Cheers!
