Ya they can be much lower I will get pictures today to show what I am talking about. As for the seat controls they are manual sliders and there are no restrcitons except for the wall behind the seat. The seat belts bolted right into the side of the seat. I had to use larger washers so it wouldn't come off the bolt. I lost my key somehow so im not able to turn my car on to see if I have any lights. The biggest problem I had was I had to remove the rear center console to get the side bolts in. Its really easy to take that out anyways.
