are there any seats that offer better thigh support than the standard seats and also maybe drop a bit further down and back maybe ?

Anything that will fit in an Elise should fit, so there's obviously the various OEM Lotus ones plus things like these: http://www.elise-shop.com/seats-c-5_63.html

Hard to say what someone else will find "better" though.

I love the seats in the later Elises, they're my favourite out of any of the cars I've tried (£80k AMG Mercs and the like included).

If you're after more support for your legs, these are great:

They were in the early S1 Elise 135s. They provide a lot more padding at the front of the seat, so should be perfect. I really liked them for comfort.
