Adjustable racing seats... I'm building a strip/street car for my gf and we have an issue with the seats. The car is a '99 firebird and currently has manual adjust front seats. She's tiny (5'1" 95lbs) and needs the power adjustments to raise the seat up so she can see well out of the winshield. I will be driving the car also and I'm 5'11" 230lbs so the power seats are real convenient for us to switch.
My question is are there race seats that I could adapt a stock power adjust setup to?
Optionally are there race seats that adjust both up/down and forward/back?
I'm debating adding the power adjust to the current seats and just sucking it up with the extra weight or building adjustment brackets to allow us to manually move the seat up and down as we switch drivers.
All advice is welcome as I'm really not sure what to do.

That would fit the definition of a "spartan" interior he he
