Tall SA/FB Owners, seat height discussion.

Currently rocking base model S4 seats in the GSL-SE which as I'm told are well lower than the originals and also combined with the smaller-than-stock Grant GT wheel I'm just able to squeeze my 6'7" (290lb) frame into my FB....yep giant in a clown car is kind of the right visual for that one. the S4 seats scooted all the way back do provide enough room to make it better for leg room but also leaves me stretching to shift 2-3 and 4-5...setting the seat further up usually ends with me looking directly into my wink mirror so I tend to lean it back a bit.

Question is. What seat would provide the lowest possible seating position (with rails) without making it an olympic event to get into and out of? i.e. a Kirkey seat....low but has nice deep bolsters that would make sliding into the seat damn near impossible for me. Are there any good "street" seats that don't have super thick cushions for low seating or a good bucket seat without being really...bucket like.

As well I'm planning on getting an NRG Deep Dish wheel along with Quick Disconnect in aiding the entry and exit as frankly even right now my legs are right up against the wheel and so getting in and out requires a precised dismount.
