Just came in from the garage, things are progressing. Here's a tip:




Removing these took me like 20 seconds. How? Bought a vise today fortunately, tighten the riser only down in one, and give the bracket a good few twists, comes off in a snap.

Yes will work with any other seat. Just have to measure your holes on the seats for the metal bars. <br>

ok, i definently used directions very similar to these, i didn't knock off the risers, and i just used 6x 17, 16 guage steel or whatever for front and back...but when i tried puttin them back in the car, i had to fight to get the brackets to fit on the studs, and when i miraculously did it, and bolted them in, the front end is raised up...the seat isn't parallel...i dont have ur kind of seats...i have the knock off apc ones, but i dont c y the front end would be raised up! i need help!

Mine stay level on the stock brackets. So I'm unsure why yours are raised up in the front. Just a though are you sure it just isnt the bolster in the front of the seat? <br>

how much higher did you sit when you use your stock brackets becuase i did the same thing but used the risers from my racing seats that come with it and it felt like i was siting stock height in my car but it is lowerd if that makes any sense, but how much taller do you sit?

Mine sat a small amount higher than the stock seats. But I believe that was because of the seats not the method of attaching them to the brackets. Talk about this thread being back from the dead.

Hack saw would work. Or if you buy it from a place that sells metal stock they should be able to cut it down to size.

What did you bolt the seat belt clip to? Directly to the seat again?

Drivers side belt is attached to the bracket. Passanger side belt is attached to the floor. So no worry.
