If you're up in the 98th percentile re height or long legs, its also possible (but not simple) to fabricate a plate-spacer to shove the entire pedal support further into the front trunk about an inch maximum, or drop the floor pan(s) by up to 2" max. And with stock early 2-piece seats, the backs can easily be re-angled so you can slouch a bit. Did you fit in the stockers or is this an on-going problem besides the collapsed padding?
