If I had an FR-S/BRZ, I'd be happy to provide a DIY with pics. But like I said, I don't have one...yet.
What I did on some of my other cars is pretty simple. I just removed the bolts from each front seat bracket. Then I found something to use as a spacer to put between the floor and the bottom of the seat bracket. For example, in my Audi I used an oversized hex nut. It was big enough in diameter that the bolt would fit through the center and it supported the bottom of the seat bracket. I used just one nut on each side, which lifted the front of my seats by a little more than 3/4". You can customize the amount of lift you need by choosing bigger or smaller nuts. Or you can just stack two together for more lift. But for me, 3/4" was really all that I needed. Now I have just the right support under my thighs when my seat is adjusted all the way up in the front, thanks to the additional lift provided by the hex nut "spacers" I installed. BTW, keep in mind that you will need to buy two new bolts that are longer than the originals.
