Default Seats that sit lower than stock?

I'm 6'3" and I have absolutely no headroom in my teg. Are there any aftermarket seats out there with a lower seating height than stock? Or is there anyway I can modify the stock seats to sit lower?

Please help. My back is killing me...

As long as you are tall you shouldn't have to much of a problem, altho now no matter where I put the steering wheel I can't see all of the gauages..

There is a guy on here username is like mattsomething and he modified his leather seats in his gsr to make it sit lower. I wish I knew what the directions were. I tried a search for it but it aint coming up. I know it was like in the beginning of the year. Hopefully he'll see this post and help us out. I don't wanna ever get rid of my leather seats!

If the stock seats can be modified to sit lower, than I rather save the money and go that route. Anyone know how?

Best way is to just take the seat off and examine the track system. see if there is a way to flip em around or upside down, maybe even remount the track portion that is on the seat to make that part higher (thus making the seat sit lower in relation to the track)

sometimes you just have to get your hands dirty

good luck
