Default What is a good aftermarket seat?

The stock seats are killing me. One part of it is the fact that I think the height of the seat in the lowest position is still too high for proper visibility and I end up either hunkering down to see the stop lights or the rearview mirror and it is causing me back pain. If I lean the seat back too much I feel like I am driving while laying down and causes upper back pain.

What would be a good replacement that would lower driver seating height and provide better back support? I don't mind spending the money on a pair of good Sparco or Recaro's however I don't want to go through the hassles and end up with the same seat height as stock. Who has aftermarket seats and how do you like them? I have been thinking about a set of Sparco Milano 2 or their cheapest seat the Siena. Anyone have experience with these or other brand seats? Thanks for reading.

Here are some pics:

I have the Alcantara Sparco Milano 2 seat, with the full 5 point harness, really comfortable and it looks sick...

I would like a comfortable seat also but, I would hate to give up my side airbag, Im trying to hold out to see if one of the seat manufactures or nissan comes up with one with the side air bag.

I am not sure of sparco seats, but I know recaros and bride make you sit a couple inches lower.

I love my Sparco's. But I think they sit slightly higher than stock in my Prelude as they are installed right now.
