Unhappy 1993 LS400 Lower Seat Rails

I'm too tall for my '93 LS400. My head hits the ceiling even with the seat all the way down. Does anyone know if there are any aftermarket low profile seat brackets/rails available for this model? I love this car, but driving it can become a pain in the neck (literally). Thanks in advance for any input.

I ended up making my own because the Wedge Engineering ones fit like dog ****, and are a bargain at $149.99 each plus shipping. Spent maybe 75 in materials and a days worth of labor with my brother.

Is that for a racing seat though? I was hoping for something for my OEM power seats.

yeah the headroom on our cars is lacking. it's hard to lower the stock seat from its current position. even if it was possible you could possibly only gain 1 more inch of clearance, which may be all that you need. it will have to be a custom modification.

That's what I was afraid of. Someone from Corbeau told me in an email that they're going to be coming out with a new line that might solve the problem. Who knows when that'll happen though.

Never mind. The Corbeau stuff doesn't work with stock seats. Damn it.
