There is the DIY mod to lower your seat an inch or so. That's free.

The BYS puts the seat as low as it can while still allowing the electrical plug to clear the carpet. Removing foam is the only way to get the seat lower after that.

It depends on how tall you are...... I'm 5'9" and have my seat (recaro) sitting just slightly lower than the height of the stock seat..... If you're very tall, you may want the seat lower, but if you are relatively short you may find that with the seat too low the steering wheel/shifter are in odd positions (read: uncomfortable)
