There are some tricks to getting around the height issue, some of it is how you angle the seat. The side mounts will have different holes for front and rear of seat, and angling the rear lower helps (and it makes driving more comfortable). Also, some seats have LESS cushion on the bottom so more the reason you want to actually try out different seats in person. But yea, I would get 1 slider first and mess around with the settings to see what works.
Now If I'm correct, isn't the bottom cusion removable? Can't you get a thinner cusion to sit lower? How much lower do you sit right now; like from head to roof?
