Default Make EP3 seats lower

Yo waddup guys?

Ok so i bought some EP3 seats and had them cut and welded to fit in my Integra. Well the seats are in there but they are a little on the tall side for me. I want to make them sit lower. I saw a guy posted earlier on lowering his RSX seats in his DA but no one really had a solution. The seat pans cant be removed. Well here are some of my ideas but i need some insight.

1. trim the foam on the bottom of the seat.
2. cut a section or something of the pans and weld them back together.
3. glue the seats to the floor without brackets. LOL JK
4. im stumped. i need help.

Thanks
Tim

You wouldnt happen to have any pics of your would you? My only problem with this is if my dad was to drive my car he is only 5' 2" when i am 5' 11". I guess ill run up to the welding shop and see what they can do. Hopefully it will only be about 100 dollars.

Anyone else have any ideas?
