Need legroom

fstanmyre · 09-08-2004, 11:45 AM

Just bought on Ebay a beautiful 1998 SVT Cobra 17,900 miles, black on black. Love this car, only trouble is I'm 6'4" tall and could really use another 2 to 4 inches of leg room. Looks like this is doable. Has anybody out there done this modification?

Call Interactive Systems Technologies and order a set of their seat track extenders. I have had a set in my Cobra for 3 years and have had no problems. They move the seat 4" back from oem 1-800-820-1082

Unless you are very skinny or want to replace your seat when it breaks, I would not do the mod that some website list that involves drilling new holes in the seat base.

To tnturbo, that sounds like just what the doctor ordered. I'm calling them now. Many thanks.

Just to finalize, I installed the rails. The lower seat belt retractor (convertible) prevented the seat from full rear travel so I replaced the belt with a three point fixed belt (no retractors). Whole arrangement works great. I have more legroom than in my Cadillac.

How long did it take for you to get these? I just ordered some.
