Re: i need more leg room
There are a few cars you can pull the seat track from and you will sit lower or something, I can't remember too much about it. Also different seats sit lower.

Re: i need more leg room

I'm going with the 6litereater seats with their custom bracket, it let's the seat sit lower and slide further back than stock. Costs about 700 for the brackets and seats. Really quality seats too.

Re: i need more leg room
Fiero seat brackets bolt right in (on th driver's side), and place seat 1" lower. Doesn't sound like much, but it makes a HUGE difference.
Taking the seat further back for legroom creates other problems. You're also moving yourself further away from the steering wheel, shifter, radio and heater controls, etc. Instead, try spacing the front of the seat up 1/2" to 3/4" by placing washers between the seat and the bracket. The changed seating angle makes a big difference in the legroom.
Another option is 4th Gen manual brackets that have an adjustment for the seat angle, as well as for the front-to-rear. I don't think they put the seat any lower, but they allow you to change the seat angle without using spacers. JPrevost put a set on his car, you can contact him to see how it worked out.
