They just felt tight on my waist, but that's good I wish they were tighter on the sides though. I've got about 3'' of room on both sides of me... That lumbar is GREAT. It's not the spring that just tightens up like someone was saying. I took a pic but have to load it.

Got them in tonight. The passenger side sits about an inch higher than the drivers but they both are in the right position. It was dark out when I finished so here are the shitty pics I promised. I'll replace them with better ones when it's light out. The first pic is the drivers side bracket and the second is the passenger side bracket.

I guess I'm having a hard time seeing where the seat bottom that came from Arizen ends and the bracket you made starts.... I'm assuming the lever and rails that allow the seat to slide back & forth came with the seat? Does it sit higher or lower than factory? Did you have power seats before this? Do you miss not being able to tilt/raise the seat bottom?

Thanks man your car is bad *** mods are tastfully done im still workin on mine just got the car not long ago lol.

Shudog to me it looks like the sliders came on the seat also with him making his own brackets he could of made them as low as he wanted. When I installed my racing seats I bought brackets but I still had to mod them to get them as low as I wanted. I hate the hump on the pass side in our cars when I did mine I put some spacers in the back to take away some of the tilt. The bracket I had helped some but it was still tilted pretty bad now they are close to even. Im courious to see the brackets that come with these seats if you buy the brackets im sure you still might have to do some cutting or welding if you want them really low.

wow, those look amazing in there! and you have some awesome talent with fabrication, because based off their site, your brackets look VERY similar to Arizens.
