I have been looking at the Corbeau TRS. The TRS seemed to have more lateral support and more lumbar support than some others. It also reclines forward, which is important to me (vs a fixed back seat). Plus you can get an opening for a 5 or 6 point harness.
Near the shoulders the TRS is 20.5" vs 21.5 for the A4.
All areas. Also the height of the seat is high. I mounted my A4's directly to the floor and will be removing 1" of foam thinkness fron the bottom of the seat.

Pics? Height from seat cushion to head liner (or T-top w/o liner)? Other than for CG, my being a bit tallish in the saddle makes this an even larger issue. TIA
I love my Corbeau LG1s in my '78. If you're taller than 6', you'll have head rub problems with the head liners. When I autocross with a helmet, I remove my head liners; I'm 5' 10 1/2".

I'm 5-11 and with the seat mounted to the floor I still feel like I sit just a little to high with reguards to looking through the windshield. With a helmet on I just clear the head liner. Sorry I don't think I have any pics.

Appreciate the replies. Thing is, I'm only 5'10", but have a longer torso than my 6'2" dad. So, despite my having to sit closer to the pedals due to my shorter legs, my height in the seat affords me less head room than he. That's why I'm in need of a more specific reference related to seat height than simply one's overall height. Hope that better explains what I'm looking for.
From the seat cushion to the underside of the t-top (without the liner installed), I measured 34 1/2". This was on a slanted line 6" forward of the seat back and parallel to it.
I mounted the seat on modified stock rails to keep it as low as possible. When I tilt the seat further back, the sitting height can increase a bit, but it's pretty much tilted as you see in the pictures.
