Springs stretched and the plastic ties that bind them cut did help, not enough to clear a helmet however.
This is what I ended up doing, and it has been fantastic. Gf needs a booster seat to drive the car comfortably now (she's averageish height 5'7" or so). Shorter people that sit in the car can barely see over the wheel. The seat pan is basically sitting on the floor and thanks to the scooped design of the base just about all the headroom that can be gained is.

Is your issue slouching for headroom that's causing knees into the wheel? |
Well alot of my height is in my legs, so when sitting up straight my head barely touches the roof, and my knee comes very close to the steering wheel. I do lean the seat back pretty far though. I'm almost thinking about just getting an aftermarket steering wheel and an extension to bring it closer to me and away from my knee. I might look into the rx8 seats though, how much did you pay for them?
