Default GT3 seat question

Just received my 04 GT3. Amazing! Felt like Xmas morning, waiting til I had enough miles to take it redline.
Anyone tall out there with a GT3? I'm 6'5" and could use some additional legroom. I had a 2002 c4s previously and the seat position definitely was further back or the electric seats allowed for greater travel (my gt3 seats are manual). Either way my legs are cramped.
I'd like to get the euro GT3 seats if I can find some. My question is, can the seat rails be modified to position the seats further back?
Thanks

6'7" here. I can wear a helmet sitting in a GT3 seat using the Brey-Krause lowered seat brackets w/my GT3 driver side seat. They replace the stock seat brackets that attach the seat to the slider...Probably gets you 2" more headroom than stock sport seats...

Rockitman, Thats great about the headroom. Do the brey-krause brackets give you any latitude in moving the seats rearward for more legroom? Also I see you have the europipe. The sound is so wonderful now. How is it with the new exhaust?

Slides on the same seat rails as stock, therefore you get the same latitude as stock.

The lowering brackets are good for getting more headroom. At 6'4" I barely have clearance with a helmet and lower cushion removed. I might also suggest the GT3 console delete to open up some more leg/knee room. Have fun.

I just got my seats in this week and haven't sat in with my helmet on this week. At 6'1" I should be ok with the stock rails?
