Default making more room...

at 6'6" i find the C4 a bit cramped to say the least. I was wondering if there were a way to free up more room in the car. Would C5 seats (if they even work) sit me any lower? I know I could always get some recaro shells but would rather keep the factory look going.

Any advice from other tall guys would help

I am not quite your hieght. I am 6'4" and $2.10 my 86 is tight and snug but I like it that way.

Can't give much help other than my youngest son that is your height loves driving it and hasn't said anything leg or head room. The only thing that he does is drive bare foot 'cuz his big 'ol feet are a tight squeeze on the pedals.

Just wanted to chime in and let you know.
