Aftermarket seat rail to lower the stock front seats?
 
Does anyone know if there's any aftermarket seat rail to lower the stock front seats?

When I have my helmet on at the track, the top of my helmet touches the ceiling. My neck gets a little uncomfy at the track.

I'm pretty satisfied with my stock seats, so just wondering if it's possible to change out the stock rails with something else to lower the seating position 1-2 inches.

Thank you guys in advance!

I am curious to see who everyone's mounting their seats, especially when 6 point harness is involved (need for bar under the seat).

If you can get a RHD market passenger seat (or maybe just the bracket), that will sit a bit lower. Not sure if it's enough for the clearance you need though.

nagashi or buddy club are doing nice rails, allowing the seat to be located in between the rails, but then no option to mount the 2 lower harness straps. unless you want to drill the floor and add hooks.

I am currently using the planted plate and some seat rail bracket, but not fully satisfied, as I could save a few more mm ;0

I wish someone would build a nice set of rails, long enough to reach both anchor points on the floor and also add a strap bar in the middle.

the porsche guys and corvette guys have a couple of very nice provider. but nothing for the frs... may be @ft86speedfactory will work on this someday.

see this as a good example:
