Do either of the above seats sit higher off the floor than the original? I am 6'3" and fit in my car with the original seats, but barely. Losing any clearance would be a big downer.

FWIW, I see no advantage to changing seats when simple rework fixes things. I took our OEM early '72 seats (3-piece) to Mike Cook in Norco CA. He stripped the seat frames, bent the bottom rear frame rail into a slight 'U' for more taibone clearance, used all-new foam to re-contour the seating pocket and finished them in leather. Cost was $300 per seat some years ago. Then I slotted the seatback strap-attachments so I could adjust the seat-rake a few degrees fwd/back. I'm 6'2" and my head, with a full-face helmet on, clears the roof and 6-hour highway drives in relative comfort are no problem to my 70-yr-old back. The seats look stock! Hall uses the same upholsterer, I think.
