Default Too tall?

Hey, this is sure to be an odd question but anyone here deal with being 6'4" or more will appreciate this one. Is there any way to make it so that the driver is sitting just a tad further away from the pedals than just having the seat all the way back? At first I thought I could deal with this, but being as tall as I am, I realized that my gas peddle foot is not in the greatest of positions for long distance driving. I start cramping at the ancle. How difficule would it be to push the peddles a bit further in and/or the seat just a few more inches back?

Thanks

if you have a power seat you can tilt the front of the seat up but there is a drawback you have to move it back down when you want to get out. Otherwise your legs will get caught between steering wheel and seat

Yeah, I'm 6'3", and I have to tilt the seat back. Although I haven't had a need to move the steering wheel or seat around to get out. I have a coupe, so that may be a difference, but I kind of doubt it.

yeah i'm 6'3 as well and i just tilt seat, but that is a pretty good idea since i wouldn't have to reach as much. but it's not that big of a deal to me.

with the 8 way power seat, it is possible to tilt the seat front up far enough to make it difficult to get out of the car if you have the steering wheel in a lowered position
