RF Seat question, Racaro or standard, which if any is lower?

[keithcollins500]

I so badly want to buy an RF, but having sat in one in the showroom at the weekend – well I just couldn’t get comfortable.
I am 6ft 2in and around 90 ish kilos, my head was rubbing on the roof… So here is the question, is the Racaro’s in the Launch Edition any lower, when compared to the standard leather seats? Or is there a method to change the seat runners? Just looking for an extra inch or two !
Any thoughts appreciated.

ANY thoughts?
Yes, your grammar is terrible and it's spelt 'Recaro.'
Hope you appreciated it

Hi, I've just bought a launch edition with Recaros, I just about clear the roof with these seats but found the standard seats a bit too tight, I think the Recaros are wider in the bolsters, which lets you sit a touch lower, I'm 6,4 and 90 kilos, hope that helps.

Thanks - extremely useful.
I asked a dealer who had both versions in the showroom to measure from the seat base to the roof...
He suggested the Launch Edition seats are about 2 cm lower... Suspect that will work for me!

Have Mazda cured the whistling noise the roof makes at motorway speeds on the RF?
I cancelled my LE order months ago because of the problem.

My Launch Edition doesn't whistle, there is some wind noise but nothing that bothers me, although I've been used to my Caterham with the doors off.
