Do you drive with your seat titlted down or tilted up? Im not talkimng about the seat back, but the whole seat.

SAs don't have seat height adjustments. Mine were swapped into my great little car, and need to be all the way back and I still feel too close to the steering wheel. I'm only 5'7".

Wow. Im 6 foot and I fit with room to spare.

GLC with SA seats in it. Also the SA shifter is too far forward. I have to lean forward to get 3rd. I can't wait to mod some things to bring the shifter closer to me.

i have an 84 GSL-SE and i dont think i have that kind of adjustment

Im pretty sure you do. I have an 85 GSL. Its the lever on the side of your seat, the one towards the very fornt of it.

See, now if you were tall, you'd have to drive with the seat laid back for headroom, and then slid forwards so you could actually reach the steering wheel.

After 5 years of exclusively 1st-gen ownership (and only 70,000 miles of driving the wheels off of 'em, would have been more but there were 2 1/2 years of license suspension) I cannot comfortably drive cars that have headroom. My neck doesn't like bending back that far (IE straight up) anymore.

edit: To answer the poll, all the way down. With it up, my knees hit the steering column even more than usual, and my thighs also hurt a lot.

I guess to answer the poll, I'd have to go with all the way down which I interpret to mean all the way back.

As for the seat-back, I haven't decided where I like it yet. I guess anything that give me a mechanical advantage over the steering wheel and still works with the shoulder belt is ok.
