hahahaha sorry that's funny as.

Probably (unsure if safe talk to an engineer) mod the rails so it mounts a bit lower?

cant mod the rails. Realistically all you could do is either lower the floorpan or find a set of bucket seats that have a low mounting ( racing seats )

Find a saggy one.

No joke, if the upholstery padding is a bit sad the seat will be 20mm lower.

Pity you are not in Brisbane of you could go to see Elky and do a Goldilocks

MX5 seats are easy to adapt and have a lower seat base height. Bonus points too they look like the early model tombstone seats lol

First gen, NA chassis.

Not sure about the NB chassis but I think they are pretty similar.
