How far above your head is the top of a helmet approved for 9's? I am trying to pick seats for my car, and want to make sure they will work for now and later.

Well, that would depend some on which helmet you choose and how well it fits you. But roughly it would add at least 3 inches or so.

Sounds like I am going to be getting Corbeau A4 seats with the bottom shaved an inch.
