The 33GTR seats are better than the 33GTS-T.

I like my stock seat and Ive got back problems, the Sparco one I use for track has no lumber support at all and I use a small pillow in the lower back region when I use it, just try adjusting the lumber support on the left hand side,height front to rear and dont have it to far leaned back.

I think if you get uncomfortable in the stock seats than most aftermarket options will be worse.

I love my new East Bear seats but they definetely aren't as "comfy" as the stock ones.

I suggest sitting in some Recaro seats. If you think they are ok then you can even look to get the rails set up exactly how you want (I guess that goes for any make of seat though). I have gone with Recaro seats and have had R33GTR, R34GTR, Bride Euro II's. I've settled on Recaro SR7's which are basically an updated construction (frame) and look of the old SR3's. The Recaro's are the best of the lot as far as I'm concerned, especially build quality. I am about 6"3' and have always wanted to adjust where I was sitting to help with leg room. Main way to do this is to get your bum sitting lower and further back.

Michael and the guys from IdealSeat in Cheltenham/Moorabbin made me up a rail which starts behind the rail in the floor. I can't really touch the pedals with the seat all the way back It took 3 of them to get one of the bolts in for the frame as it is quite low. Great guys and it was no where near as expensive as I was expecting a Recaro setup to be.

yep, i tried. but still ... not quite helpful.

may be no seat will suit my height. (190 cm)

Hey,

Did you ever find any seats that fitted for you?

I have some seat problems my self, I have to long legs and trying to find a way to sit further back, by change original rails or get new seats.
