I'm 6' tall, and don't have any headroom problems unless I'm wearing a helmet. When I've got a helmet on, I could use an extra inch.

The stock NSX seats are already actually sitting on the floor, and there's only a few inches between the cushion and the floor. Therefore, even an aftermarket sport seat will probably not lower the seating position, due to the size of sliders and brackets. I actually had my heart set on some seats, and then on further investigation decided they wouldn't lower the seating position (and in fact might raise it), so I had to abandon that idea. (A race bucket like Chris's is another matter, but my car is primarily for street use so I didn't want to go that agressive).

My next course of action will be to visit local upholstery shops and get quotes on some new seat covers with some modifications to the cushions (making them softer and/or thinner).
