Question 2nd gen lowered driver seat options

I have purchased/financed brand new fits in the past, a first gen (GD3) and a 2nd gen(GE8), and am picking up another 2nd gen and want more than almost anything to lower the seating position
does anyone have info : I did search the forums and I didn't see anything pop out
I am working with a local "coilover" company to get the car stanced more to my liking and since I will only visit the track for a couple weekends a year I'd rather have some adjustable dampening than stiffness, but the seat needs lowered!!!


past fits had springs and saw several track days (see my pic albums) this time the fit will be more of a commuter car so I wanna go as low as possible to help with aero dynamics and fuel economy


I don't have the car I my possession yet (in a couple days) but have been obsessing over the seat height or a month since iv'e been saving to pay cash this time for a car.
any help will be much appreciated

I believe that due to the location of the gas tank (under front seats) your choices will be very limited... if the option to lower the seat even exists for the Fit.

You might have to MacGyver a custom seat somehow...
