Miata seats actually give you more leg room, although only if you mod the pan
so they go all the way back. But they definietly cut into head room so it's a
trade
off (I think they give you more leg room because they are raised in the
front,
which bends your leg, but still gives you support).
The other thing that I did was install cruise control which means that I can
put
my foot anywhere it's comfortable at least for short recovery periods. Maybe
a little weird in a sports car, but for $100 for the audiovox unit, I think it
was
a good investment.
Matt, I seem to recall that you may live near to me (I'm in Hatfield PA). If
so, you
are welcome to drive my car with Miata seats and see what you think. Contact
me off-list...
Best!
