Anyone know if the standard or performance seats in an F type give the most room for tall drivers?

There's no difference in room between performance and normal seats in my experience (6'3" with 35" legs).

What does make a difference is getting a car with the later, lighter, thinner seats. Those allow you to sit lower and further back.

I think they were introduced from MY 2018 and can be identified by having a single hole rather than 2 holes on the backrest.

I did look into retro fitting the later seats to my 2014 R (now sold) but apparently it requires tricky modifications to the electronics so I didn't bother.
