I used to own a mazda miata, and I was too tall for the seats in it, and as I do not let anyone else ever drive my car, I took the rails completly out and bolted the seat to the floor in my "comfortable" position. You could do the same, since the crx doesn't exactly seat more than two people anyway.

Search the roadrace/autocross forum for some good threads on seat mounting in the CRX. Mine is mounted directly to the floor mounts, as below, and is still too high:
