Headroom


Recommended Posts

I'm looking at buying a (used) IS200 SE or Sport - love the car but can't adjust the drivers seat low enough! I've tried tilting the seat back but then can't reach the wheel (and not comfortable). Have sat in 3 cars now & spent 10 mins today in the showroom trying to get it right.

I'm convinced I'm missing something here - I'm 5'11" and have never had a problem with other cars. Am going back on Thurs and will have another play with the 'large button' (in this thread).

What am I doing wrong? Any suggestions (including doubts about my IQ) gratefully received.

im 6"3' and have no problems, maybe you have a long head (ala Tefal)

there is a technique, place some washers under the front 2 mounting bolts, this raises the front of the seat, but actually lowers the rear of the seat squab aswell ;)

Thanks Supracharged - everyone tells me I've got a big head - guess this proves it! Nice to know there is a 'plan B' - hate to think this would be a showstopper.

Anyone whos done this know how much drop is possible?

a friend did this in Holland, he is 6"7

the drop is varible, and not a fine art........the drop isnt a drop as such as all you are doing is moving the front of the seat squab up......and in relation it seems to fit better with taller people, as i said, i have no problems
