Default replacement seats?

Does anyone know if the plain manual seats sit closer to the floor than the 87 way adjustable electronic whiz kid specials?? My problem is that while not extremely tall at 6' I am apparently taller from butt to head than average.. my noggin is crammed into the roof of my 85 coupe, to the degree of having to slouch down in the seat. its pretty miserable. and i have checked, the power seats are all the way down and back.

I really dont want to put some sort of aftermarket seats in the car, but dang I already have a bald spot..

I had a similar problem with my 94. The change that made the most difference was to switch to a clear top. The headliner takes up more space than you might think.
