Default Lowering sti seats

Hi folks, recently fitted front and rear sti 7 seats in my2000 classic, thought I'd read up everything about doing it but somehow missed the 'various' posts about the height problem, really like the seats and they suit the mica blue colour of the car a treat! But I would really like to drop them down a bit, the passenger seat sits especially high,
I have read about the hks lowering rails but the price of them seems ridiculous to me so has any1 got any other thoughts or sorted theirs somehow?? Any help would be great
Cheers

I had the same trouble and coulnt get on with them so they come out again.
The old runners couldnt be swapped on mine.
I have seen a thread where someone made some mounts for them, ill see if i can find it.
