Default Anyway to gain more legroom by swapping seats?

I love my S2000 but one thing I have a solid complaint about is the OEM seats....both seats are way too firm and the passenger seat has this annoying bulge in it!

I'm a rather tall guy (6'2") and already went to a smaller MOMO wheel to get some more leg room. Would I gain anything by swapping to aftermarket seats?

For those who's done this mod, care to chime in?

I'm 6'2" and with the seat barely reclined, all the way back, I can drive and heel/toe without hitting the wheel with my knees? Granted I do have to cock my legs to the side a little...I think what most people do is just chop the brackets, and then lower the seat a few inches.

If you ran a bucket seat, you will definitely have more room. Your knees will no longer sit against the door panel/center console for support, nor will your thighs sit as high. One of my friends (built 6'2") who couldn't comfortably fit in an AP, now fits after I installed a bucket seat. As far as a reclineable seat, I'm not sure, but as long as your thighs sit lower, you will have more leg room under the steering column for sure.

the S was not made to be comfortable for tall people. Anyone over 6"2 would probbaly not be comfortable in a long ride!
