Corbeau seat without slider?

I have Corbeau VX2000s in my '00 SS. Right now they are mounted on the Corbeau sliders, which makes them sit a bit higher than stock.

I am tall and I feel like I am sitting too high up, is there a way to mount a Corbeau seat without sliders and without drilling the floorpan?

Thanks

Christian

I then welded a new flat tab too the other side and drilled the matching hole in that. It basically lowered the seat an inch. The mods are easy if you have a grinder and a welder, but the install after that is really tight.

In the spring I will attempt the passenger side, it will be even tougher since I have the cat hump to deal with on that side.

I hope that helps, I will not be able to take any pics till spring.

I think I can visualize the change you made and it sounds like what I need to do.

My wife actually likes the taller seat, she always felt she was sitting a bit too low so I will have that done only on the driver's side.

Thanks for the advice, I'll let you know how it came out.

I'm working on some seat brackets for a stock seat. I'm 6'6" and was just a little too big for the stock setup. I haven't made the brackets yet and have just the stock seat sitting on a pillow and it is very comfortable for me.

Maybe some seat brackets would be a good project for this weekend.
