Being about 6'2 I always end up reading these threads whenever they pop up.

I find it impossible to heel & toe with standard seats, especially with an un-adjustable steering wheel getting in the way of my knees - the only gripe I have with this car.

Interesting, I'm 5' 11' and also find the seat too high. If there's a few other interested maybe worth looking into a group buy?

I think that route has been looked into before without much luck. Id have to look into the rules of club GBs, scary.

Get some buckets, Raz!

I'd rank them in the top 3 of my mods. You can spend a fair bit on some nice Bride Stradia ones with rails, or go with BC ones like mine. For the money they are aamazing. Mine are like new and have seen a fair bit of track use. Bit fiddly to fit, and the seat belt isn't easy to get in, but soooooo worth it. You become totally connected to the car. I'd rate them above my GT3 seats probably... which are about 10x the price!

No.

If you are at all serious about driving, you'll be getting bucket seats.

Sell the standard ones to some Mimms'er who wants to look cool in his/her Civic.

Otherwise, cut some foam out of original seat. Costs you nout.
