TrackSpec Seat Recliner Brackets

I’m 6’5” and would like a slight angle back but I see these seat angle adjusters tilt seat back which brings the seat bottom up closer to the steering wheel. Due to my long legs I can’t give up any room and have my legs/knees closer to the steering wheel.
That is the reason I am hesitant to install these seat angle adjusters. Any opinions from tall guys on these and how close they bring your legs/knees UP to the steering wheel?

Several people tried them in my GT4 and most liked the change in seat angle.

Easy installation.
Seat angle is comfortable.
Customer service was excellent. Great communication. Fast shipping.
No hesitation recommending.

Seems like a decent product. I’m glad there are options out there. For me, the stock seat position has never been a problem on the street or on the track. Maybe if someone has the recliners installed on their car in the DFW area I’ll try them out...

AutoQuest version replaces the stock pivot arm with a longer one whereas the TrackSpec version is a spacer that relocates the stock pivot arm's mounting location. TrackSpec version does not change angle with seat height, AutoQuest's version does. AutoQuest raises front of seat by 1.5" and TrackSpec's version raises front of seat 1". They are surprisingly quite different considering they seek to do the same thing.

I am one of the few that installed them and them pulled them out. I didn't like the reclined angled. Just personal preference.

I have both the Autoquest and Trackspec products. Are you saying that you have empirical evidence that the Trackspec product could case a structural integrity issue in the event of a crash?

Nope. I'm questioning whether aluminum, which is the material used for Trackspec, would be as strong as the steel Autoquest items in the event of a crash. Presumably Porsche chose steel over aluminum for the seat sliders and attachments for a reason.

Depends on the type of aluminum they use..
