i'm 6'3", maybe a little taller. proportional legs and arms, but i don't feel like my torso is exceptionally long. the seat is comfortable, but a bit firm. i started getting curious about seat pad options. a quick search yielded some options- something looking like a generic cut of a yoga pad... then i found a premium option, the UPR racing full bottom pad. there are two versions- regular, and one that adds about 1.5" of height. this pad replaces the bottom seat pad your seat comes with.
i drove the car for a little bit today with the pad and i have to say, it is perfect. feels great, doesn't get hot, has a grippy (not sticky) affect to it, and it put me at the perfect height. my eye line is right below the bottom trim of the oem rear view mirror. and just as advertised, it has a progressive feel to it. the first inch is really squishy and gets progressively firmer. feels like a slight suspension seat. i'm very pleased with it.

You should consider a different seat/brand with different side bolt locations. That pad loses a lot of the side bolstering support. Looks like a lovely pad though!
