Anyone ever make an adjustable recline seat for the Elise/Exige?

I have any unusual driving position due to back issues. I’m completely fine as long as I’m not hunched over, but typically the more reclined I am the better. Not fully Formula One style reclined but still more reclined than usual. I use a short legged, long armed driving position if that makes any sense. I’m not concerned about the stiff suspension and bumps. I’ve been driving other sports cars for over a decade without issue.

I‘m wondering if it’s possible to move the seat up a bit and then recline to bucket seat more. I guess there would have to be spacers/washers on the bottom of the front seat. I’ve read this is what taller Elise/Exige owners do so they can fit in the car with a helmet.

So I either way I need to move the seat up a little. But I either need a solution to increase the recline angle of the bucket or find an adjustable recline seat that will fit.

(P.S. I know back issues and Elise/Exige isn’t typically a good mix. But in all honesty IDGAF. I’m only 29yo and am trying to navigate my back issues while still enjoying my automotive dreams)
