Does anyone have any experience with Classic Aero seats with the tall pilot option installed in there RV8? Does it affect their seat back I'm assuming it rests on the WD808 like Vans and in which case it will have to be longer. The reason I'm asking here is that it took over a month last time for Classic Aero to reply to my questions.

I'm six four. It makes the seat back a little longer and you lean back a bit more. I don't remember exactly how much longer it is. To many years ago when I built the seat back, but I would guess maybe a couple of inches. I bought the foam for my seats from the folks in Lincoln Nebraska that come to OSH and took it to my car guy. By the time I was done, I had eight hundred bucks in both seats. We even used certified material. The cushions are made up of several layers of temper foam. They have "kits" made up with the correct amount of each foam for both seats. Last year's price was about $400.00. Hope this helps a bit.

I just got my seats from Classic Aero and went to Albany to pick them up. They turned out fantastic!!! The workmanship is top notch. I was going to do the vans foam. But when I sat in their built-up seats, that was the fastest like $1300 bucks that disappeared. Once again the quality was above what I expected and they think about what they are doing. Soooooo, I think they have already thought about it. Try them on the phone. They were always there when I called. Unless you live in Australia, then let me know and I'll call em for you.
