Go the good ol Recaro's. you take the head rests out and you have a semi low back................Another option i liked is a brand called cobra,
they make a low back seat.

I have had a set from a Subaru and a set from an Honda Integra
The Integra are sporty looking and real comfy but dont adjust as well as the Subes did.
The Subes were welded so i had both adjusters on. The also had a couple of other squab adjustments
The Subes actually fit a bit better. The Honda seats rub a little bit when you stick your hand down to pull on the hand brake or use the heater.
The Honda seats have better material and bolstering (side supports) though.
I just sold the Sube seats to some one here
You should be able to pick some thing up for like the $150 -- $250 mark
