6’3”, seat is all the way down and 1 click forward of all the way back. I lean the seat back a little bit further while on track just for additional helmet clearance, though even with the seatback more upright the helmet only lightly brushed against the headliner at most. I did also need the 55mm spacer in order to have proper positioning on the steering wheel.
What type of helmet are you using? I'm 6'2" and it's pretty tight, can't imagine fitting with a helmet easily. I have a HJC H10.

I am 6'6 and track the BRZ. I have good leg room but yes the helmet pretty much touches the roof and if there is a bump on the track i have to duck for it. Buuuut otherwise it fits well and the seat bolsters really well. In the distant future I might have a track seat but I really like the premium seats so who knows.
I saw you replied on my other thread, any chance you could get a photo of yourself with the helmet on in the car? I have trouble fitting gat 6'2"!

Hey man sorry been travelling. I am 36inch inseam. I have the seat reclined and all the way back and i fit with just an inch to spare from the roof.
Is it uncomfortable driving with the seat reclined like that with the helmet on? Did you have to get a wheel extender or any other changes? I'm 6'3 and gonna be doing my first track day in a month, but worried it might be tight with the helmet on and will have to recline my seat (which is an uncomfortable driving position for me)

I have the 949 racing wheel extender and it is a huge help. I am 6 ft 2 and most of that is spine. The difficulty with reclining the seat far back is that you don't have upper back or shoulder bolster support. So cornering requires a lot of stabilization with the legs and the elbow in the door. Still the most fun you can have on four wheels
