Anything aftermarket will not have a side airbag, which IMO is a non-starter for a daily driven car.
On top of that, many argue that fixed-back bucket seats are unsafe at the track without a roll bar / half cage.

Previously I looked into fabricating a custom bracket for the 1st gen to mount the stock seat an inch lower, but couldn't figure out an easy way to do it.
The good news is the 2022 seat is attached to the seat rails differently than '13–'20. This time they went with four horizontal bolts, so perhaps two L-shaped brackets is all that's needed to mount the stock seat in a fixed lower position.
The challenge might be to figure out how to bolt the brackets to the floor when the seat is in place. Might require some serious car yoga!

Another possibility is to do foamoctemy to the lower seat cushion.
