Seats for MA61

Hey guys,
As some of you know, I have some OBX Carrera seats to go into the XX when she gets put back together. I've had them for ages, but only just finished fitting them.
The problem is, they are too high. If I was Norbie's height, it'd be no problem, but my head is a bees dick away from the ceiling in the RA60, which means it's going to be worse in the sunroof equipped XX. And no, the valid solution is not just to open the sunroof.
Here they are fitted compared to the factory ones :
Does anyone know of any rails which may enable me to sit them lower (unlikely as they are almost on the floor now)?
Failing that, does anyone know of any of any other seats in a similar style with lower bases?
Cheers,
Nathan

I cannot help sorry, but am interested in peoples ideas here. I had heaps of trouble trying to find a set of seats for the RA28 that would keep my head off the roof)..
The S13 seats in there currently are great. But would really like some aftermarket ones but dont want to fork out lots of $$$ for them to sit too high.
Cheers
Joel

It's the same with the ae86. Side mount is the way to go if you want them low, but $$$

1) I don't want to be like you 
2) My car originally came with Celica-style seats
3) Although sitting too high, the shape of the other seats gripped me on a whole other level compared to the MA61 factory seats, even with the side supports wound right in.

lmao... 
didn't acctually check the dates, just searched for it, and treated it like a new one my bad,
my sincerest apologies to any individuals or groups who may have been inconvenienced by the revival of this thread, my intentions were not to offend, but merely to entertain, i can see i have failed miserably at my goal, so from this day forth, i shall walk the land on my stomach, and eat dirt.
