I got my seats installed on junkyard factory manual rails (the power seat was waaaayyy too high), and they feel great,
I also added Corbeau's inflatable lumbar support cushion to the driver's side and it feels great!
I'm still not 100% happy with the height but I'm still working on it.

Well, drilling the holes out more equated to having to move them 1/2" over so they were on the very edge of the bracket. Not so safe.
Their brackets also use just a couple of tabs of steel welded to the front for the front floor mounting positions... Doesn't seem very strong.
SO, I had a local welder redesign the bracket for me using a stronger design and proper mounting holes. Looks and works GREAT
! Plus I only paid $100 for the pair as opposed to $130 
BUT, I had already paid the $130 to Arizen
Oh well, live and learn .
