Default WHAT SEAT BRACKETS are you using for AFTERMARKET seats?

so im in the maket for some seat brackets to go mount to some recaros i have... my current options are:

wedge engineering seat brackets = $200
weapon r = $170
custom seat brackets = $xxx

im looking to ask everyone what seat brackets they are using for their aftermarket seats and how the fitment has been... also if they include the seat belt bracket for both seats...

if anyone can post other companies that provide brackets for the tc that would be swank..

PLEASE POST UP HOW MUCH YOU PAID AND WHERE YOU GOT THEM FROM THANKS PPL.

cheaper than retail since they are a sponsor of mine, but here are the part numbers and prices for them according to corbeaus site:

Drivers: E22090L Passanger: E22091R

$99 per bracket. so $198 for both.

yea i got corbeau under my recaros.. they cost me 165 since I get corbeau parts less than they offer for sponsorship since my shop is direct with em. You just need to drill a couple new holes and then its all good.

the sliders are built into the bracket. so you much buy it all together

you sit slighter lower (not much at all) with these brackets, but then again it that might be my seat (i also have a corbeau trs seat)

can the sliders can be moved left or right?...since im not using a corbeau seat...im not sure if the width of the holes might match up to the holes i have on my recaro srd's...by looking at nicks pics.. im seeing i might be able to just unbolt the slider and move it over accordingly if i need to correct?

lol what extra holes.. im guessing the corbeau's use a 4 hole mounting.. not like recaro that uses 6 holes for mounting..

--

also.. are the single locking sliders stable and strong? im a lite weight at 160 lbs ...i dont wana be freaking worrying about sliding up and down on these *****..

--

so basically ... the brackets no matter what.. already come with sliders right?? dam for 198 thats a nice as deal!

im just shy of 200lbs, and have had the brackets for over a year and have had no problems to date.

and yes. the sliders are bolted to the bracket. so you can remove the sliders, and drill new holes in the bracket to fit them where ever you need to.

and the sliders have 4 holes to bolt to the corbeau seats, and i dont think you would have a problem drilling holes in the sliders either.

Break away answered the questions just as I would.
Only thing to add is, I feel my seats fit to FLAT. As in there is no angel to the seating position like in the stock seats, so you sit lower in the front of the seat where your thighs are. If you understand what I mean. I dont really like that. I am going to space the front with washers, when I get aound to it

That is where I got my seats from EXCELENT service an no issues.

I have a DIY install t show everything that needs to be done. Its around here somewhere.

I second that motion, my Corbeau with Corbeau sliders, feels very flat and it isnt all that low. But the flatness in the front was weird for the first month of driving with it.
