How far are you sitting back? Ideally you should be sitting such that your arms are bent at a 45 degree angle to hold the steering wheel at either quarter to three or ten to two, with the backrest up enough to support your shoulder when applying a full opposite lock... I drive with my seat pretty far back as well (I'm 6'3") but the backrest is still up enough to support my shoulders as described.
I sit close enough to put all four finger tips on the top end of the steering wheel with my back and shoulders fully supported...that's the best way i can to explain it.
A 45 degree angle is impossible, i'm 5'8" and drive with both hands at the bottom end of the steering wheel so i'm looking at more of a 85 degree angle. Quarter to three and ten to two is the most uncomfortable way to hold a steering wheel imo.
That same theory was probably over like rover in the 60's when steering wheels were a foot and a half in diameter. It should probably be rethought. Cars are nothing like they were back then, let alone the steering wheels. I've been driving for 4 years (ya i know, not much), i've tried tons to drive that way and i actually feel like i have less control... it's just not functional. I'm sure i'm not the only one.
That being said i definitely want these paddle extensions, i got high hopes for a decent price:thumbsup:
