FC Race Seats question

LaMaR- · 02-19-2011, 09:42 PM

Hey everyone I got a set or seats that I am looking to get installed. Drivers side is super easy, the placement and height is perfect for me, but when I go to make mounts for the passenger side it becomes a bit tougher, I have a thought of how I could do it but would like to see what everyone else does or what ideas/suggestions you have.

I just dont want it sitting unlevel, height wise I wish Icould get it as low as the drivers side but that would be a big pain.
Thanks for the help

When I had mine in I had the same delima. I just faced the fact that that the passenger seat was going to be a bit higher. I retained the factory sliders and made offset shim/spacers for the angled L/H rail that's along the transmission tunnel. It wasn't by any means perfect but it worked.

yupp it sucks, ive got about a year and 9 months to deal with it before I leave on deployment, I want my car to be ready to go so when ig et home I can install engine tranny mounts and the new drivetrain and suspension and wheels

i had the exact same problem with my f1spec seats. i also used the stock sliders. and also said screw it cause my type of girls arent tall anyway so hopefully it wont matter.

im leavin for deployment in 3 months so i know exactly how you feel. except i just found out that i either have a blown motor or blown turbo...fail
