Default Racing Seats installed on stock sliders

I got a manual slider from a v6 bird for the drivers side and reused the pass side. The seats are Cipher Auto seats. They were really cheap I love them so far. They sit a bit higher than stock, but being 6.0' i have no issues. Even room for helmet. Now for pics

i used the write up here in this section. i think its called mounting Recaro Arizen seats to stock rails. my measurements differed slightly, but pretty straightforward

Did you use the seat belt track thing that attaches to the seat, or is the seatbelt just straight down from the roof?

^^I love supporting our sponsors and do so all the time. And i am in no way saying these seats are better than his. I am just a poor college kid and couldn't afford them. Please don't come in here saying my thread should be locked and call my seats a poor quality. Have you ever had them?

Notice what you started that sentence with. I venture to say that almost everyone here appreciates what Mark and his crew do for us, as well as the rest of the sponsors. No need to lock the OP's thread just for sharing his information and setup with us.

OP: Nice seats and great setup. I like the look. Are they comfortable?
