Default Seat brackets...

so i'm planning on ordering a set of the Corbeau A4 wide cloth seats. They come with sliders, and i'm going to get the base shaved the 1". What brackets should i get for them? i need them to be the lowest ones they make or ones that can be modified to drop the seat another 1". this 2" drop will put me in the normal view of the world...i'm 6'4" and hate looking down to see everything......

thanks!

i used to drive a 98' ex/sir with gsr's in it much more head room than the Z!

when you say buddy club low down rails, is that the bracket i'm referring to? the seats come with "sliders"???

sorry i'm not real "car smart" if you know what i mean! thanks!

Just so you know, you can also have Corbeau shave the seat base 1". I had that done to my drivers seat, I think it was like $99

Well buddy club rails only go on bucket seats that are side mount, I'm telling you to not get some corbeuas but to get a actual fixed back side mount bucket seat

The buddy club rails comes with everything to connect the seat to the floor

well i'm gettin the A4's wide so, i guess my new question is going to be what are the best lowest i get with those?????

i just want those seats minus the 1" and some way of attaching them to the floor that will take another 1" off the overall hieght of my head/ceiling ratio.

thanks for all the help guys, keep it coming i rely on your knowledge.

You could do what I did and have them shave 1" off of the drivers seat then buy Corbeau brackets then take the drivers bracket to a metal shop and have them take 1" off of the rear of the bracket.

It was $99 for Corbeau to shave the seat 1" and $60 for the shop to lower the rear of the bracket 1"
