I might look into the rx8 seats though, how much did you pay for them?
I got lucky. $75 for the cushions, <$140 ish for standard seat and frame. Going rate on the rx8 recaros are $600+ ish, once you find them. The standard rx8 seat base basically has a flat cushion, the Recaro was scooped out, not sure about the leather variants

Legroom isn't normally much of an issue for me (other than in a solstice). Headroom is always the killer, but who knows maybe the altering of angles would help you out enough.

Tilt wheel in this car isn't enough?
