Default Seats for tall xB owners?

Hello tall xB owners. I am 6'6" tall and just bought my xB. I love my car very much but would like a couple extra inches of leg room. Has anyone out there modified the seat brackets or purchased aftermarket seats that allow for an extra 2-3 inches of leg room? Any info would be much appreciated. Thank you.

They say put in washers, this will raise the front end up. I suppose you could do it on both front and back but this article talks about putting in washers for a more relaxed/reclined seat position:

Scroll down a bit until you get to the tutorial...

Good luck!

I'm 6'5" and the leg room is fine for me. you will probablly have to take the tracks off, make an adpater plate to move the tracks forward a little, then re-attach the tracks. since there is so much leg room in the back seat there shouldn't be a problem.

I installed the new bolts and washers and WOW, what a difference. Thanks for the tip. I now am a lot more comfortable in my xB. It saved me from having to buy new seats.
Thanks everyone.
