Is extending the slider which the front seats slide on possible? be cause i would like my seat to move forward another couple inches. Could i extend the one that is already in place? THis is on a 99 civic coupe. Thank you

Why don't you remove your stock one and just move it up (drill a new hole or somethin).

If you have a problem reaching the pedals (rather than the touchscreen, if you have one), it'd be safer if you moved the pedals closer to you, rather than the other way around.

yes it is possible. just go and get another set of sliders for your seats detach the factory bracket cut off front of the factory slider weld in however much of the extended slider you want just make sure you put the stop at the front. when I was competeing in iasca a few people extended their sliders but that was to move the seats farther back to equalize their pathlengths, why would you want to move them forward if I may ask

Most cars especially civics in the US, the seats go so far forward only a few inches stops your chest from hitting the steering wheel. But then again i have two asian friends with an escort and a ford torus and they drive with the seat straight up and the seat all the way forward. Im guessing you want to do this to make it easier getting in and out of the back seat of your coupe? Just a hunch.
