I need new seats

I have been wanting to get diffetent seats for my GSL. I'm too tall so I really don't like the GSL Leather seats. I was wondering if anyone knew where I could get Seats that sit lower. At Least equal to a '79 or lower, because I sit just fine in my SA. I know I could get the seats out of a earlier or baser model, but I was wanting to know what there is in the aftermarket world. I can not afford it now, but i would like to know where to look for later

Thanks for all your help,

Rotor Nut

I believe Miata seats will net you a bit of head room.

Not an uncomon swap.

I think there is a little fiddling involved but nothing very hard.

Search this section. there may be a write up on the process

I'm 6'1" and I didn't notice any loss of headroom when I went from the base seats to TII seats in my '82.

I too have been looking for seats for my SA and the Corbeau Clubman looks a good swap - seems about the same size, don't know about height though. Too many of the cheaper race seats just look too big for the car. The Clubman seems to retail about $220 US plus sliders each.
