Miata seats actually give you more leg room, although only if you mod the pan so they go all the way back. But they definietly cut into head room so it's a trade off (I think they give you more leg room because they are raised in the front, which bends your leg, but still gives you support).
The other thing that I did was install cruise control which means that I can put my foot anywhere it's comfortable at least for short recovery periods. Maybe a little weird in a sports car, but for $100 for the audiovox unit, I think it was a good investment. Matt, I seem to recall that you may live near to me (I'm in Hatfield PA). If so, you are welcome to drive my car with Miata seats and see what you think. Contact me off-list... Best!
