**Cant find a comfortable seating position in my X. Help**

I'm 5'11 and don't really have a problem, but I don't have the height to arm ratio to that of a t-rex. I like to sit with my seat reclined further than most people and I am sitting far enough back to have a slight bend in my elbow when driving... I could sleep in these seats if I needed to.

The Evo 10, along with those before it, are designed to for the driver to sit "bolt up right" as the term goes, as is the preference and optimal driving position for Rally racing.
I'm 6'2, 205n 34" waist, and find it abosulty a perfect fit, withe the wheel 1/2" from all the way up, seat rail one notch forward from the seat bracket, and the seat back straight up. I have about a 10 degree bend in my arm in 5thgear.
Also a trick I learned in a racing class once, is this: slide the seat back to where feet can lie flat behind the gas and clutch pedal, but with out the bottom of your knees pressing into the seat. Next adust the seat back so that you wrist can rest on top of the wheel without your shoulders coming off the seat and with at least a 5 degree bend in your elbow. It takes a bit getting used to as it feels like your driving a box, but guess what, you are!

When you say have the feet lie flat behind the pedals do you mean on the floor before them? or on the flood kind of under the actual pedal? Or past the pedals all the way to the wall? I tried different ways, but for my wrists to actually be touching the top of the wheel without my shoulders leaving the seat... its way past straight up. its almost like /__ ()
Feels super weird.

Search a few and you'll find more entertaining but very informative videos. Trust me the Evo 10 and it's seats are design to suit a wide range of drivers with both comfort and performance in mind.
