Hey Rog,
i have long torso and neck and driving around in my 88 vert felt like i was Noddy in his Noddy Car, not to mention vision was just below the top of the windshield!

I fabbed up custom brackets to mount aftermarket 'race' seats on and dropped myself about 4 inches which is all the difference in the world.
You would have to re-design the seat-sliding handle because it is very high. i had to cut and re-weld mine to work with the 1" clearance the lowered seats allowed.
i dont think the stock seats could be dropped without cutting and re-bending the metal brackets to fit and then the seat sliders too.
be curious to hear if anyone else solved this problem!
