I also went the route of Corvette C-4 seats on my recent restoration/modification. I bought a used pair on ebay for $400, bought some inexpensive but beautiful leather hides, covered all surfaces inside the car with leather with contrast red diamond stitched quilting. In the couple of times I've driven the car since I got it back a couple of weeks ago, I found the seats comfortable and supportive, and without dropped floor pans, I still have some headroom. At your height, are you really sure you want to drop the pans?
