Default Lowering my seat height??

I have a 1991 civic hatch and want to lower the seat height. When I ride now my head almost hits the headliner and Im only 5'10.

Is there something I can do to lower the seat mounting point or am I just stuck? Thanks for any help...

Del sols are real nice and low for us taller guys I'm 6'1" and I ran both with del sols being the most comfy only downfall is price and they kinda don't flow with the interior.

they're not that bad. granted they don't quite match the interior, but it's best to get a set who's strip matches your car
