Default Tall people+Bride seats... What do you have?

hey everyone, i hope this is the right section to post this but...

im 6'2" and most of my height lies in my torso.. so when i sit in the S my seat isnt that far back but my head sticks at least 2' over the plastic roll bars. with top up i have about 1 finger max between head and top..

thing is i would really like to get some bride seats but i dont want them to push me up that extra "finger gap' whereas my head will touch the fabric.

anyone who is tall have bride seats and which rails are you running?

i would like to stick the the reclinable brides. and still have option of sliding rails back/forth because im very picky on where/how my seat sits

ive been trying to locate someone near me in florida to sit in their seats.. but i have not found anyone w/ bride...so

thank you

personally I would not recommend a Bride seats to a big guy.
I think it was built for small Japanese people.
I am pretty small and it fits me tight, but if you are any bigger, then there might be a comfort issue. IMO

if you want a reclinable low bride you should get the Gaias its expensive like $1700 bucks but its a low max and the back is carbon kevlar! it definitely has pimp factor! i want one but sadly dont have have that kind of cash. as a substitute i have the backyard special stock seat lowering rails. it gave me almost an inch of head space and the car feels much more spaciaous, but im only 5'7 so i dont really need head room but i wanted to sit lower.

yeah i like the gias/stradia as well but i dont need kevlar... 1700 isnt much more than 1100 for a brix.. but idk i just want leather and gradiation.

whered u get the backyard special rails? they go right onto oem seats w/o trouble??/
