Default Lowering Seats

Is it possible to get seats that are lower than standard
I have a 06 2.5 SL
Am 6’4’’ and keep hitting head
Lowering it by 2’’ would be great

Any held would be appreciated

Thanks

The new age seats seem to sit a lot higher than the classic versions... I have a friend that has asked me the same question about lowering the seat in his 07 model.... I'll be interested to see if it is possible to lower the seat hight as well.

My 04 WRX has a lever on the driver seat to adjust the seat height, would of thought it would still be on the newer cars

You can lower the seat on a 06 but it is not enough
I would pay for a new seat if i could find one or have one made
thank for your help

Have a look on the Japanparts website, I'm 99.9% sure that HKS do brackets/runners that lower the OE seat.
