I have the brackets; I am not too tall but I have a long torso. I had to have the seat leaned back to drive with a helmet at stock height, brackets allow me to have it pretty much straight now. Best thing I have bought for the Evo. Only problem is that it interferes with the most forward positions of the seat, so my gf has to use a cushion to drive now (she is 5'1"). But you won't have that problem since you are tall. And yes I let her drive it she has more track experience than I do.

i am 6 ft 5", i am wondering if the JDM seating is different! i fit comfortably with my seat 3/4 way back and my head just reaches the top of the Recaro seats!

i can drive no other car without the seat right back and it is still uncomfortable.

Yeah i cant wait to try out those brackets. Do they lower the seat as much as possible or could it be lowered more? 1.5 inches doesent seem like enough.

^I'm pretty sure they are as low as they will go, but not positive. The guy that engineered them is a badass at design/fab, so I'd be surprised if he left anything on the table.

I'm 6foot 7 aswell... Also a bit on the mushy side... but compared to the rest of the cars out there, evo has a LOT of space ... I'm looking into lowering brackets too tho.... should make a huge change.
