Well, Dan Neff was on a business trip for 2 weeks, and is STILL
catching up with digests!!
I'm only 6'2" :) . And they're 240Z seats (280Z brackets are too high).
I recommend 240Z seats for tall folks, especially if you can get a
shot, sagging, driver's seat (they're a hair too high in good condition).
I mounted it about 3.5" back from the stock holes - still have space before
the package shelf, and great leg room! The only complaint is the seats are
a bit flat, so they aren't the best choice for autocrossing. I'm hoping a
reupholsterer might someday be able to beef up the sides a bit..
