More legroom with aftermarket seat?

6'4" and I think I know what you are talking about, spend a good 20 minutes playing with the seat position and all the dials to adjust. I finally found

On your original questions, yes there are seats. Bride has a line call 'low max' which offer a lower seating position than most stock seats. For the 370z many of the 'low max' line will give you 1-2" drop, I know the Bride Stradia Low Max will give about 1.5" more room lower the driver.

When I put a helmet on (Im 6'3"), is the only time I have plenty of issues getting into a comfortible position.

I dropped the seat to it's lowest position on day one, but I am curious abot this Bride Stradia Low Max seat. I am going to look into this. How does it compare to the comfort of my current seat?

After riding in a Z with them and driving one for a bit I would say you will fill it after a couple hours of driving. Short trips around town the main issue is getting in/out of the car because it has higher side bolsters.
For a comparison, I am 6'4" at 200lbs with a 34-35" waist and fit very comfortably in the seat but you cannot have anything in your pockets.

If I remember I will try to grab some pictures next time I am around the car.

This is why after I found my perfect seating position, I disconnected the wires under the seat that adjust the position.

That is why this year I am prepping for some Bride Stradia without sliding rails.
