I am thinking about some after market seats and the carrelli seats seem a good option,the only problem is im 6ft 3.and my car has a sunroof!
To be honest i do sit to high up but its liveable,the question is will the carrelli's be much worst? I have herd you can take the washers out or something,
Ideally i would like to seat lower than std but if the carrelli's are the same height it could be an option.

I would like to hear from people who have the seats opinion.
Thanks, Jon

i would not recommend carrelli,s if you have a sunroof and your 6'3". Carrellis still sit higher than standard even with the spacers removed.

I've got an SR and i'm 6'2", and although they are a very good seat i found the driving position felt a little too high.

now got Plus seats and they feel much better laugh.

or aftermarket wise i would recommend corbeau carreras smile

they are very supportive seats compared to standard,you do sit higher than standard even with no spacers,your thighs are closer to steering wheel giving you a go cart feel.

im 5'11 and used to it now , i would have a sit in one first before you commit to buy i think you will be too tall as said above

I found them too feel alittle tight to be fair.Maybe because im a fat fccuker,at 6 foot and 15 stone.

I was considering buying some Carrelli seats and I'm 6'3" instead managed to get hold of a full LE interior and the seats are GORGEOUS!!

I loved mine, though they sat a little to high for my liking, they are ALOT more supportive than the standard and LE seats.

(Ruben btw, not Rog smile )

Yeah thats what i thought,i would not like the height of the carrelli's,wich is a shame as they are a really good deal.
I would love some plus seats but they are hard to come across!
Do corbeau do runners for the coupe?
