Default 2011 is350F Seat Height/Headroom - Lowering Brackets?

Hey all! New proud owner of a 2011 IS350 F sport here. I must say, coming from an '05 civic and a '99 Camaro SS, this car is just awesome. Ive had it for about 2 weeks now, and cant get enough! The ONLY thing I can complain about (similarly to others) is that the headroom isn't the greatest. I'm 6ft, and barely have 1 inch of headroom. Leaning the seat back will give me some space, but its definitely not comfortable. I've perused through the forums, but have yet to find any answer besides "Lean the seat back" or "Buy new seats". My question, is there any type of lowering bracket, or lowering rail for the drivers seat? I love the stock seats, and don't want to part ways. Any help is greatly appreciated!

Welcome to CL and your new ride. Unfortunately I haven't heard of any midification of the seat to make more headroom. There are some people up to 6'4 who have mentioned their height in the forum by I don't see any fix.

I wish we could make more head room. I not nearly as tall but still wish I had more.
