Default Low profile seats?

Hey guys, im not currently a prelude owner, but i was put in a situation where i may be able to purchase a 92 si this weekend at a HELL of a deal. But, i am 6'7" and the roof height is a bit of an issue, are there lower profile seats available?(like del sols are in my civic) I would seriously need these.

The seats really go back. im 6'5'' and I dont have an issue. As a matter of fact with the seat all the way back, my feet cant even touch the pedals.

its not so much a leg room thing as it is a head room thing. I cant drive leaning back, I am not baller, I am white and safe. I like to drive sitting upright and this basically ruins any hope i have of getting into small cool cars. Im hoping maybe something like the recaros are a lower overall seat height.

while the seat itself looks thinner, look at those rails! ha. I would have to get much thinner rails that would allow the lowest possible mounting.

I hear you on that one. LOL
I'm "only" 6'3'' and I had a head room issue when sitting up straight. I had my car prepped for the track but then I realized I couldn't really drive with a helmet on. hehe
So I bought a pair of Recaro's and mounted them as low as possible. There is plenty of room now, even for my friend who stands at 6'9'' tall.

You could also fit the del Sol seats in there, but it's going to take some customizing. Those would sit even lower. I had a del Sol too
