Driver too tall for Boxster

I have a client who wants to get a boxster but he is really tall and the seat doesn't go down enough for him. Does anyone know if there is a way to costomize it by lowering the seat or anything of the sort?

Any ideas would be appreciated...

Passenger seat is on Brey Krause slim line sliders and between those and the gt3 seats it drops heighth about 2.5". Driver seat is bolted to floor and drops heighth about 4"!! My mechanic has to use a phone book to test drive!
Of course I still have stock sport seats saved for a new owner

I'm 6'5'' and with the same setup that riverflyer has in his 3.4... I almost have too much headroom. Although I still need the BK roll bar extension to pass the Broomstick test at the track with my helmet on.

There's a guy on PPBB that's 6'9" and can fit with the above-mentioned mods.. Your client should be fine!

I drive 986 boxster and i am 6' tall and i feel that i sit too high....and i dont want to get GT3 seats because eventualy this car will be turned in to track only car and my interior is red so selling the seats wouldnt be too easy. I will try to look for options how to lower stock seats if possible
