Has anyone come up with a solution to lowering the 135i coupe seats? I opted for the manual sport seats, but even they are a bit too high to wear a helmet while in a comfortable driving position.

Short of throwing out the seats completely for a track seat, has anyone come up with a solution? They feel like they have plenty of room beneath them to be further lowered if a replacement rail system were available. Does such a thing exist or would it require custom fabrication?

Older threads on this topic don't seem to have a result. Sorry if this is the wrong forum but I figured this may be most relevant to track drivers.
