Help! Installed Cobra Misano seats and now I barely fit!

I bought these to replace my supple leather seats. I installed the passenger side and even in the furthest back position I don't have enough leg room. I am 6'4 tall and have the factory seat all the way back and down (even then it is a tight fit). Am I doing something wrong? I hate to have to sell these seats since I love how supportive and comfortable they are.

Have someone fab a custom bracket for it. Wedge Engineering makes brackets for almost any seat to almost any car, and if they don't have the design already, they can run you a custom set. I think a little modding of the brackets is well worth it to have a pair of Misanos in the car. Those seats look awesome!

I have to find someone local to take a look since the recline **** bumps ugainst the side and prevents the seat froom going back further. I wish this was a simple install.. at least now I know how to quickly change seats : )

I am a huge fan of the Misano's as well. I'm sure there's some way to keep them in there! Good luck!

I had sat in Misano's installed and seen how much higher they ride. Custom bracketing should solve the problem. Keep us posted - If you can solve this I would like to get the same set up.

They would be perfect witht the current setup for someone that is not as tall as me. I can't even wear regular shoes to drive, have to have my driving shoes on..
