I was completely fine with the stock seats for the first 46,000 miles or so. It wasn't until this year and the past ~8,000 that they've been getting progressively worse. I even had some x-rays done on my back to make sure it wasn't something wrong with me.

This is a passenger seat, but if you look at my driver's seat straight on, it looks like the image below. The outside bolster is more than twice as wide as the inside.



As for height, I don't know if Sportser GTs will be much better. While the seat should be ~1/2" lower, there's a 1/4" spacer you need to get for the rail sliders to work with a planted seat base. If I was willing to wait for Recaro specific base (8 to 9 weeks according to the sites I checked), I think I could get away without the spacer, but there were check boxes on a website and height wasn't a concern, so I happily clicked them and forked over my money like a good little consumer.

Ooh, nice. They didn't make the glass bowl when we got ours. Love the pasta (rollers) attachment. And the lift top (vs swing up) is so nice. Enjoy.
