Default Racing seats or lowered seats

Are there any companies that make lightweight seats for s2k that effectively lower the seating position and give slightly more leg room?

Then the underside of your seat would be below the floorpan and hitting speed bumps

i borrowed one to look at, the metal addons are easy to add, but the rails are very hard to make, all the aftermarket suppliers use the same 'core' rail
