Lower seats for more headroom?

I just bought a new '07 EX Coupe, the only complaint I have is the headroom. Anyone know of some seats that will sit lower than stock or if anyone makes low profile mounting brackets? I drive 2 hours to-and-from work everyday so the seats need to be comfortable and look decent (light grey interior).

Thanks.

you could get aftermarket seats and get lower brackets and sliders. you're probably not gonna be able to make your stock seats lower.

No offense, but did you not take this car for a test drive before you bought it??? If so, why didn't you take that into consideration??

That's what I was leaning towards, if anyone knows of some seats that will be lower that stock, please feel free to respond.

I did, and it's bearable, but I didn't test drive it for more than 20 mins or so. One way commute to work is 2 hours in traffic. Nothing wrong with trying to improve it, right?

The wheel is as far forward as it can go. I'm trying to avoid leaning back too far because I can't reach the top of the steering-wheel comfortably. I prefer the one handed, top of the steering-wheel driving position.

That's a good tip, but a little more destructive than I'd like to be on a brand-new car.

If anyone knows of some really nice seats that are lower than stock... that would most likely be my best option.

Thanks.
