Possible to mount OEM Z4M seats any lower?

Is it possible to mount the stock Z4M seats any lower in the car? I will be doing a few HPDEs this year in my Z4MR and in my preferred driving position, I am about an inch too short on the broomstick test. I can make it if I move the seat back, but obviously that is not ideal.

I have been looking at alternative seat options, but wouldn't mind saving the $2k+ for something else.

Unfortunately no, not that I can tell. See the photo below.

Best bet might be to get a set of brey kraus mounts and a fixed back seat like an OMP/Sparco/Recaro. If you plan to have an instructor you will unfortunately need to do both sides. Check out your local Craigslist as there’s usually a lot of deals that pop up around this time of the year.

Worth the ask!

Right know I am considering the Motion Motorsport floor adapters and dual locking sliders along with Corbeau RRX seats since A) I will be running the OEM belts, because roadster and don't have a cage for harnesses B) I have read (correct me if I am wrong) there can be issues running OEM 3 point belts with fixed back seats and C) my M is also used for daily purposes and fixed back don't appear to be the most suited for that (unless I swap seats for each event).
