Bride seats with planted seat brackets
Just purchased some seat brackets to install some Bride Gias replicas and notice how the passenger seat is a lot more higher than the driver. Anybody else had any issues when installing aftermarket seats (bottom mount) or do you guys think is due to the bracket. Planted said is due to the hump the car has in the passenger side, btw is a 2008 nismo Z.

Bottom mount seats will be a major pita on the pass side , the floor boards are really fuct up.

Not true I bought authentic sparco seats with all sparco hardware and brackets and my seats are crooked. Authenticity also have imperfections.

I tell you what, these replicas look and feel really good, one of my friends bought real sparco fixed bucket seats and I sat on them and they still flex about the same as my replicas.

350Zensokou,
Did you had to adjust the height on your seats to make them match du to the passenger side front left hump?

Why would you care if the pass seat sat slightly higher, unless you ride ***** in your own car all the time.

No, the brackets are just crooked from new. The hump has nothing to do with the seat sitting crooked.

The difference in height is not slightly, is about two inches.

I had decent luck with my megan brackets. Both seats are at least the same height! I'm running Bride reps as well.
You might also look into wedge engineering.
