Btw I know this thread is pretty old but to OP or anyone else wondering, if you wanted something similar to PP's but with higher harness holes, you should take a look at Recaro SPG, I believe they are essentially same width as PP but meant for taller people.
I wish I could get seats without a slider...but unfortunately there is still time to time where I need rear seats

Per SCCA Rules, I need seats + mounts to weigh over 25 lbs, so weight reductions could be huge. (Manual seats with heat)

I need to still test fit some seats, but I was thinking I can go a permanent mount on driver side and do slide mount on the passenger.

I like sitting low, and these seats are just frustrating.
