Default Taller seat??

I have a 4 point roll cage in my car. I have stock seats in it and my head sits above the head rest. When I go to the track some times and my helment hit the roll bar behind me! I got to looking at it and If I was rear ended, my head would hot the roll bar.... I was wondering of the later model seats were significantly taller or does a company produce a taller seat. I don't want racing seats because I want it to be a comfortable ride. So I want them as comfortable as the stock ones. Please give me some advice thanks! It's 1988 coupe.

do you want the seat raised?

do you want a seat with a taller head rest?

or do you want to lower the seat to gain extra head room?

there are a lot of seat threads; the racy people who want a seat with more support and extra headroom than stock, but still want a comfortable seat seem to choose Corbeau A4 seats. Apparently A4's are one of the few aftermarket seats narrow enough to fit in a c4.
