Default Seat Advice Needed For Vertically Challenged Drivers

I'm sure I'm not the only vertically challenged driver out there, so possibly someone can give me a few suggestions on picking out new seats I'm use to not being able to see **** but when I swapped my EG seats for EK seats I really did like being able to see and my butt loved them too so I would like something at least moderatly comfortable.

What I'm looking for is a non reclining seat although I am open to considering a reclinable due to the fact I have no idea when I'll get my roll cage and don't really want a broken neck if I did wreak >.<

I'm also wondering about raised seat rails, I've decided they need to be sliding because otherwise noone, includeing myself would probably be able to get into or out of my seat if they wern't lol

I know that the Bride Zeta III Type-S and the Exas III are both smaller seats but I'm not stuck on any particular brand...

I'm 4'10....and a half, and shoulder to shoulder about 15.5 inches/ 39cm

I put 1" spacers and longer seat bolts in my winter car, [89 Dodge Dynasty] because the seat was so low, worked great.

I have also removed the rails on Honda/Acura seats and installed spacers to raise the seats to add clearance for installing amps under the seats. 94
