    Thanks Dave.0. I already have some brackets and sliders with the seats, so was wondering if I could just re-use them. I'll probably just find a day in the spring to pull the drivers seat out and see what I can bolt up.
    I would love to drop the seat height another inch or two!

    Yup you can reuse them. Your seat will drop a good bit when you take out the OEM seats.

    I added a 1 1/2 spacer in the front of the seats because they were too low in the front and it was like I was sitting on the floor. I put in a seat of Recaro's from an Evo IX and love them because they are very supportive and comfortable.

    Good luck with your upcoming seat mod.

    I do not know the exact specs but I had to order new seat floor brackets and sliders and mount them to the seats. The floor brackets had a extra little foot sticking out for the seatbelt to be mounted.

    I did have to "massage" the exhaust hump with a BFH so I could slide the seat back and forth without catching the carpet on the seatbelt.

    I ordered Recaro sliders and floor brackets like the ones below.
