Hey,

I've got a problem, I'm a fairly tall guy and it seems that I'm too tall for the standard seats. I'm thinking about replacing the seats to something larger, but I still want comfortable seats (not racing seats) and I would really prefer something which would fit into the existing brackets, so that I don't have to do any custom work, both because I'm not very experienced with working on cars and because I would like to avoid doing any non-reversable modifications to the car.

So basically my question is; does anyone know what seats would work well for a tall guy who's looking for comfortable seats that will fit into an 88 Camaro (through adapters or just straight on)?

I've been looking a little bit at Corbeau Sport Seat: http://corbeau.com/products/reclining_seats/sportseat

Any other recommendations from other tall people?

 

4th Gen seats drop right in on the same mounts and set about 1 1/2" lower. Backs are the same height I think but the head rests are relocated to give some support. Gave me more room

 

I ran pro car seats and made own brackets. I'm 6'4 and I fit okay as long as I wasn't wearing a helmet.

 

Do you have a t-top model? I'm 6'7" and don't fit the greatest but I think having t-tops helps. Idk if camaro 4th gen seats are lower but my 4th gen t/a seats sit the same as my originals.

 

I had 4th gen seats and didn't notice the difference, even with padding that was shot. I went back to 3rd gne seats. If there was a difference, it was because the padding is worse, or the electric seat is more adjustable

I'm 6'8" and am trying two things to help. I ordered the brackets to move my seat back 4", and I also ordered a manual track with tilt control

 

Good to know, thanks! Although actually the main problem for me is the length of the back of the seat and the (non-)adjustability of the head rest for neck support, I realize now that I didn't make that very clear, sorry... and wow, lot's of really tall guys here, I'm actually only around 6 ft 2, but I still think the back of the standard seats and the height of the head rest is too short for me.

I've sort of solved it temporarily by just buying an extra head rest pillow, which brings the head rest forward a bit. Wouldn't mind if it would go a little higher as well, but it will have to do for now.

 

Where did you order these seat relocation brackets from?

 

got a video!

Do want!

 

Pretty sure 4th gen rails sit lower. When I was looking at Corbeaus once upon a time, it was suggested to use the 4th gen rails vs. the 3rd gen to get the seat lower. Mine had 4th gens in it when I first got it, and they sat way too low for my liking.
