seating inside between t-top and non

[travanx]

I am 6'4 and have sat in a t-top NSX, I think it was a 200? model, I cannot drive the car stock like that. I was wondering is there any difference in height on the drivers side between the t-top and non t-top? did this change over the years? i am considering getting an NSX more now, and I still havent found a non t-top to sit in at a dealer and don't want to waste any local sellers times to just try sitting in there car to see if I fit.

Also if I was to get bride seats or some aftermarket reclining seats like that with lower rails and brackets does that lower the seat a lot?

It's very simple (and completely reversible) to modify the seat cushion by removing or replacing the foam to provide the headroom you need. Do a search on the Dali seat cushion for more info.

Also, the NSX seats are so comfortable, I'd be hesitant to replace them with an aftermarket seat.

but i know i dont fit in the t-top. i was told by a guy in the sale forum that both versions have the same height dimension. when i sat in a z4 roadster my head goes out of the top of the windshield. but in the z4 coupe i fit fine. thats why i ask if the non t-top had more headroom.

Ok look at post number 12 in this thread http://www.nsxprime.com/forums/showthread.php?t=72111&highlight=headroom

you get a bit more room w/ the coupes... but the difference is marginal IMO... i've owned both a coupe and now a targa... and if you're hurting for headroom by a lot in the targa, the coupe isn't going to be necessarily the solution (unless by a little).... after market seats, lower cushion,etc are all reasonable options...

thanks for everyone's help, it looks like i have to go to a meet and hope that some people there would have some of the different setups and be willing to let me sit in their car.
