I'm looking for one tall enough to allow the shoulder harness to come out above my shoulders....a lot of the seats I've sat in have the slots under my back. TIA.

Call Kirkey they will make one custom for your height.

Kirkey. I'm 6'6" and I fit fine with the seat mounted on the floor and all the way back. It's surprisingly comfortable too. I managed to do a 400 mile day in them driving around the state.

I've looked at Kirkey, but was wondering if Sparco, Corbeau, Bride, Recaro ,etc shell seats were used by any tall folks.

I'm 6'0 and the shoulder belts on my Corbeau CR1's are about 3" too low for me...

I'm looking into putting a second set of shoulder harness slots in the driver's seat, closer to the top. Just trying to pin down what insert I'm going to use. I thought I had a lead on a long narrow one modeled after the Viper slot. I think it would look better than the 4-eyeball look of an identical set of slots above the originals, and should cost about the same. But that source isn't ready yet and isn't responding to emails...

One of the other Corbeau seats has a taller slot (the hole looks to be about twice as tall) but I don't know where that one would fall on you or me...
