lol, why is everybody jumping on the OP? It's a valid (albeit not very well thought out) question.
Otherwise, the rear seats are there if you absolutely have to carry people. They've come in VERY handy for me before, but I wouldn't expect anybody to ride in the back for a super extended period of time.

I try to do the airplane stewardess method to help make my vict... uh passengers feel most at home. Before starting i explain that there are vents (the roof) that can be opened or closed for fresh airflow prior to take off, and offer them a bag of peanuts and a sippy cup( as to not spill) of either water or apple juice. I always provide a bucket if they feel nauseous as well!
Other than that, they are on their own.

REAL solutions...
Front Seats: Order our seats and brackets because with out brackets you actually can sit as low if not a little lower than stock and slide further forward and further back...
Order our Targa, it is made to bubble up and give more headroom...
Go to a reputable fab shop and have them cut the hump out of the passenger side front floor board...
Rear Seats: Remove the BACK part of the back seats. Not safe as you loose the seatbelts but you can keep the bottoms in and the passengers gain a few inches by just leaning against the hump and the carpet. Gil and Mike (Raptor and Sommer) road in my car like this to Vegas and said it was fine...

In all honestly thats just how these cars are made. The backseats really aren't meant for adults more for children if you want to be comfortable. Thats why when I had mine I really did not want to even use them, b/c all of my friends would just bitch and ask me to move the front seats up so far to the point it was hard to drive. The back seats are pretty useless unless its for kids or short trips.
