All the pictures I have seen had the back rest leaned back a little more then where I would anticipate having mine. . . .

I'm trying to figure out which route to go, you have any set to how you would sit or was that it.

I previously tried installing a set of seats (not6le) and felt like it sat to high and put my leg into the steering wheel (5'11, 175lbs)

Would you be able to post a few more pictures, if everythign seems copasetic I will probably be ordering once I get my tax return

That is set how i sit. i'm 6' 2" and i have a long reach so, i sit back further and i also drive with my leg leaned to the side so i can drop my steering wheel fully down. these seats sit slightly lower in the front than stockers so, i'm sure you'd be fine. i don't have alot of money to throw around but, these were definitely worth the investment.

these don't up sit any worse than the stock seats so, if those are ok, i'm sure you'll be ok with these....if you'd like i can get some pics of the front of the seats with the steering wheel all the way down if that will help. let me know. good luck on your search though.

If they're like most other aftermarket seats, they're lighter than power seats, about the same or a little less than manual seats.

Pretty much, to compare I'd say...

Manual Camaro- Same
Power Camaro- Less
Manual Firebird- Same or less
Power/Trans-Am- decent amount less

just weighed my stock Trans Am manual seats at appx 40 lbs. so i'd say you save at least 5-10 lbs. per seat. any weights on your seats mike or mark?
