I'm about 5'10 and weigh 215-ish. i cant seem to find a comfortable seat position. ive had my car for a little over a year and constantly adjust the seat and steering wheel. what driving positions do you all find most comfortable?

my steering wheel is always in its lowest position so i dont feel like im driving a bus. i have a lil recline but i know most people move the seat back to where they can just push the clutch all the way in but i feel like i have more control if im about 6" closer than that

i'm 6'6" and have a hardtime too since i got Corbeau's in my car. My stockers were manual and i loved how they sat... i fit perfect with the the bottom all the way aft and the bucket tilted up with the back rest completely up. with the steering wheel about midway in its tilt function.

guess it's all relative to how big you are and the type of driving your doing...i.e. racing or leisure!
