Headroom

[kingy]

Hi

Just registered on the site....its fantastic.....just bought 52 IS200SE black

Think its fantastic but would love it more if I could get extra headroom...Im 6'2"

Any Ideas....is there any service providers that I might contact?

Really, I'm 6'4" and I have no problem at all. I assume the 2002 model is the same as the 2001 model.

You do know that the seat goes all the way down if you push both sides of the large rectangular button down ? Sorry to state the obvious (if it is !).

Does this mean it goes further down than if you press both sides of the button independently? (Can't practice it as car in repair centre!) :(

Have tried all of the obvious....but thanks for comments....I guess that I just feel that I am sat up high...if I recline the seat, and raise the front (support of thighs), It feels like the steering wheel is too far away. I think it would be ideal to be 2" lower......

kingy, This might sound a silly question, is you body longer than your legs?? If this is the case then you have the same problem as Me, I'm 6ft 2in and stuggle to fit comfortably in most cars because having shorter legs means you have to sit closer to the steering wheel and further upright which restricts your head room. I'm OK in Cars without sunroof's

It's a shame lexus don't offer the SE and Sport without the sunroof, you lose around 50mm of headroom because of the sunroof and you have to ask the question why have full electronic climite control and a sun roof

I may be wrong but I'm sure it just tilts if you press either side of the large button independantly. I'll try it tonight ! :o

Hi guys, not sure if we are differnet here ( Australia) but the one reason I got the IS was because of head room.. I am 6'8 and the IS is the only sporty I could get into.. I have monual seats on mine so I don't know if that is different.. luv the head room!!!

[kingy]

Thanks guys for your suggestions;

I am informed that if I put spacers under the front seat bolts to raise the front edge of the seat further, and then recline the back of the seat a bit it will give me more space....and guess what...tried it and it works! :D

I'm just a short a*se, so am glad the seats go up as well as down!!!

i think you can lower the seat as the other guys mentioned above

i usually press the both of the rectangular button dowards and the seat basically sits on the floor more or less!
