Front seat more forward?
Front seat more forward?
Any way to move the seats closer to the pedals got an 89 firebird coming in and I am only 5’6 stock seat mount in my 91 I was able to reach pedals but 4th gen mounts seems more back which are in the 89. Really don’t wanna put the stock in any help would be great thanks

The stock adjustment should get you plenty close. The seats in these cars don't go back far enough...

Re: Front seat more forward?
I have both a 91 TA Vert and a 94 TA Vert, both with the same Optima Leather Seats.
The reason I have the extenders in the 91 is because it's a smaller car and/or has less leg room.
I'm 5'11".

Re: Front seat more forward?
In the old days, the seat tracks had extra square holes, so one could cut off the welded on mounting bolts and replace them with "Carriage" Bolts . One location back or one location forward, as needed. Do 3Rd gen tracks have this?
OR
Block of wood , painted black, bolted to clutch pedal? Stick on anti slip (sandpaper like) material on the wood. I did this for a female relative, decades ago and it worked well.
