In a daily driver sense, each person is probably different. But My DD and track seating position doesn't change.

I adjusted my steering wheel upward and as close as it goes to me. That way when my hands are at 9-3 at full lock, it doesn't hit my legs.
When i extend my arms forward, my wrists are on top of the steering wheel.
My seat is as low as it goes to the ground, but im 6'1
My back is at an almost upright position, similar to a bucket seat
My legs are also still bent when fully pressing my clutch and gas.

I have an FRS also, and the interior is all oem

:rofl:


In reality, this is all up to you personal comfort based on your height, preference, and body part lengths.

I'm in a brz. I love my go kart position, but 5'5", I need to crank up the seat raiser a bit to give myself safe visibility.

No air in the seat only tools drive around with their head in the ceiling. Steering wheel telescoped all the way to me and pulled down i cant stand it when they are pointing at the ceiling.

because if you sit away from the wheel with arms stretched out and youre wheeling it around i would imagine your arms would be like rubber bands by the time you finished a race lol.
