I'm 6'2" and I had to mount my Kirkeys on the "butt bar" to clear everything... And all my upper bars hug the headliner

 

If it were me and I wanted to keep the factory seats, I would cut and lower the factory channel where the seat brackets are.

 

I'm 6 foot 1 and 215 lbs, is that little?

 

holy dang!
john, im a short legged guy at barely 5'9. the front lip of my seat is mounted even with the front factory seat stud.
there is no trace of a stud when looking in my car. you have to get down on your knee and put your head upside down to see it.
my seat is leaned back more than others, but it is soooo comfortable.
when i wait in the lanes at the track, i just sit in my car, unless its august.

 

I dunno how you sat in that car with the seats that far up... mine are all teh way back up against the cross bar in the main hoop. You're not that small... I dunno how you sat in the car with the seats that far forward!

 

Thanks for the business, the brackets were shipped yesterday.

 

So what exactly is the benefit of the Madman brackets? Price?

I'm going to be putting these seats in soon.

 

The benefit is the ability to adjust your seat height and distance from the steering wheel, if ever needed. Using our brackets also make pulling the seats out of the car alot easier, since they utilize the stock bolt locations for the stock seats to mount to the floor. It really is for simplicity. I've seen alot of people with an un-braced and unstable mounting of their seats, which isn't safe at all.

Price: $59 plus shipping

We also have seat brackets for the JAZ aluminum racing seats. The JAZ seats are a bit lighter, and IMHO a bit more comfortable, but it's really all the same in the end. Just depends on personal preference.

Those Kirkey Pro seats are defiinitely comfortable. Been thinking about filling a 5 gallon bucket w/ concrete, sticking a Kirkey Pro seat in it with some adjustable Madman brakcets, and putting it in front of the big screen in the living room.

 

LOL,,,, that sounds like something I'd consider doing. Might make a good compliment to the engine block coffee table I've thought about fabbing up, haha..... j/k.

JL, the driver's side seat was pretty far back actually, some folks couldn't reach the gas pedal with how I had the driver's seat.

 

Huh. I don't have a good pic of mine that shows where it is on the floor... but I know my seat's a MILE back farther then yours is... maybe being on the floor it gives people more of a strait shot with their legs though I dunno.

Your seats look like they're alot farther forward then mine are, the back of my kirkey where it's attached to the main hoop cross bar, is about even with the back of the door opening.... I'd bet they're 3 or 4 inches farther back then yours look to be in the picture.

I'll try to get a pic next time I'm in the garage before I rip the interior apart, when you see it you're gonna be like wtf how do you reach the pedals LOL.

 

you think thats a good idea, ask my buddy gary. he is into all these driving video games. he has a kirkey pro street... cover and all mounted up to sit in. he says its great.

 

I've seen that done before where someone solid mounted the stock seat. They removed all of the bracketry, power unit, and made an aluminum mount for it.

That's pretty funny.
