Default seats for the tall guys?

hey guys i got my eg with stock seats, being 6 foot 3 half my back hung over the top. so i picked up some ep3 seats that i tried out for a bit but in the end swapped for a set of ls cloths.
i havent really been looking for a new set but i ran across some bride low maxes w that gradient and i was like owww. lol
so yeah i guess im gauging intrest in picking up a new seat or two. with all the upgraded work i just had done to the car, the ls's arent cutting the mustard any more.
looking for some advice.

I think I've read that either Del Sol's or S2K's sit 2" lower. Might wanna look into those.

the problem isnt really how low they sit, but how high the backs come up. i have plenty of head room in the car. but my shoulders are hangin off the seat or have no real support.

I don't think his issue is height clearance because I am 6'3" 250 lbs with ls seats in my eg hatch. I was surprised how much head room there is, the problem is support for my back that is the issue. Unfortunately I cant give advice on what seats are better because I am searching as well for better seats.

Well S2K's grab your body fairly well.

speed junkie hit the nail on the head. i dont need a seat that sits low, or one that is wide, but one that has a high back, that will provide back support.

i have found the bride zeta iii type L, they say "The shoulder part is 1 1/2 inches(40mm) longer than the ZETA III. It is also 2 inches (50mm) higher in total height."
is this two inches really enough?
