Jack, I have no problem fitting in with the original seats. I have a long torso and short legs, so the original seats put my head very near the headliner, but legroom was no problem.
The Fiero seats are so much thicker in all the cushions, that I have to recline the back to get headroom, which pushes the seat forward and limits my legroom. The Fiero seats are just not a good fit and I cannot recommend them to anyone.
I may take the cover off one and exchange the 1" foam padding on the back and bottom for 1/2" padding. This would probably do the trick for me, but I'm afraid that the leather seat covers will no longer fit the modified cushions.
Since my steering wheel is cracking and is the least attractive feature in my interior I thought I might fix both problems with a new one.
Thanks for the help. I'll yank it this weekend and see what I can figure out.
Mooso.
