Proper aftermarket seat for taller driver ??
I've been lurking here reading as many seat posts as i could find but i don't recall this specific issue being addressed.
Issue - I'm 6'2" with a base model z (read NO CRUISE). I have had an issue during track days with the stock seats and would like more bolster support and in particular support under my legs.
I also drive long distances with a small pillow under my legs to help with support, i call it my cruise pillow. It sucks....
So...while i understand seats are subjective there is no way to try before you buy. I need suggestions for seats that offer great leg support (like BMW M seats) and multiple height adjustments.
Brand doesn't matter to me.
Thanks everyone

I'm 6'4" and the stock seats make my head touch the roof! I hate them.
I'm going to save up and Corbeau A4 (wide if the fit) and have the 1" shaved from the bottom and then have someone fab up a 1" lower bracket. Should put me down to normal veiwing, as is i see the roof and the upper window when i drive! Thank god there isn't a tint strip or i'd be blind!

It's the strangest thing, but I SWEAR that my cousin's '03 touring (??) is lower than my '06 track (both manual cloth, but mine has two seat height adjusters, his just has one).
I am 6'4", and I would love to ditch the rear-view mirror if I didn't need it for backing up, because when I look forward it is right in my line of vision (yes, adjusted all the way up).
But, otherwise am surprisingly comfy on long trips in this car.
In to find out what you come up with... I would love to lower my seat some also.
