Default C1 low profile seat options

Can anyone recommend an aftermarket/custom seat option for C1 (1960) that sits a couple of inches lower and also a little further back to provide additional leg room and better headroom. I'm sure this has been discussed in the past but I can't find anything here. Car is a mild restomod build and trying to find something with a relatively stock appearance that won't break the piggybank. Thanks for any suggestions!

Need more head room in my '60 C1 - CorvetteForum - Chevrolet Corvette Forum Discussion

This is what I did with the seat back (reply #9). Cheap, easy and effective. Also when I checked the spring pack in the bottom portion of the seat I had found that "Bubba" had installed them backwards so double check yours.
