Any 1LE with a sunroof ?
Looking to see what the seat height looks like with a Recaro seat and a sunroof. Currently, have a non-1le with a Sparco seat solid mounted. Still, have some helmet cleance issue and can't go any lower. Also can move any further forward on the clutch, she's a bit of a reach.
Might swap in a Recaro driver's seat if the cushion to roof clearance is similar to the solid Sparco. |

Yes. Now, I like my sports-car seats to go as low as possible. I'm 5'11" and have inches of headroom...but, I notice that most people tend to jack seats up as high as they will go. I know not the reason for this, but it's annoying as hell when I get in work vehicles. A lot of people also "don't get" that the sports-car seats are suppose to be reclined more, not laying on your back, but not like the nearly vertical of my honda pilot.
The sunroof does cost a bit of headroom. It makes it feel more airy and open IMO, which is why I got it, in addition to being able to open, some days it's perfect without opening the windows. If I can remember, I can maybe try to post a picture in it with a helmet on.

That would be awesome. I'm 5'11 as well and with my Bell BR1 helmet I can't sit up straight. Thanks!

I suggest you do what I did. Show up at your local dealer, helmet in hand, and "try on" models with and without sunroofs. For me, even though I am 5'10" I could not comfortably wear my helmet with a car equipped with a sunroof. good luck with your search. JD |

Slightly off topic, but do the sunroof cars have completely different roofs? I have a 1LE without a sunroof (wish I had one) but I noticed the roof is not completely flat on my car, so I couldn't picture how a sunroof goes on the car? The center of the roof is lower then the sides of it. Sort of looks like this when looking from the front of the car ---\___/--- if that makes sense.
