I personally have had very good luck going to a salvage yard, like LKQ, and scouring around the (gasp), foreign car section for seat brackets. Eric L

its much easier just to make something that works with these seats then buyign some from another car. u can use 4th gen seat tracks but they sit up very high with these seats... ask me how i know

[prorac1]

Yeah, thats true. I remember you used my spare tracks didnt ya.

Well I just drove the car with the driver seat partially installed on the new brackets (only bolted in with the front two bolts). It was pretty solid even like that and I already love the feel of these seats. You definitely get a lot more feed back from the car with them and I dont think any comfort was sacrificed. The stock seats always made my back hurt after about 20 minutes, these might even be an improvement!

The car is on the hoist for an oil change right now... it needed it pretty bad after all the racing this summer. Oil was pretty close to pitch black But when thats done I am going to drill new holes in my brackets too move the seat forward some because I positioned them too far back. After that I'll start working on the passenger side and get that to the same point. Then all I will need to do is weld the brackets (onto the brackets, lol) for the rear bolts. I make that sound like its easy

In any case, very happy with these seats so far. I absolutely LOVE how the car feels without all the weight in the back too. The back of the car just wants to come out and play all the time now!

Maybe you should make some more of those brackets and sell them

[JoeliusZ28]

Spray paint them red

best idea evar!

[Kwazrollinz28]

how much for the speakers?

[JoeliusZ28]

how much for the speakers?

Well, not really a price on them I want to trade for a set that are either black/grey/red and not stockers.

Might be easier for me to just get new ones and sell these too. Not really a priority right now though.

So can i borrow the seat for a day maybe two. or when you finish the brackets fully both of them and we can go for a ride

[JoeliusZ28]
