how tall are you? I mounted mine right on the floor using the back 2 studs then attaching the back of the seat to the rollbar, and it gave me a ton more room heade and leg wise. I'm 6'3 and about 275 though... if you're a smaller guy it definately won't work for you, but if you're my size or bigger it makes the car alot more comfortable.

Well the way you posted I could say your an ***, but that would just be a personal opinion and there's a lot of those out there.

You know how opinions are

I've seen next's seat mounts in person, I think they look very nice.

I did mine differently only because I wanted my big monkey *** to have more room... but if I were a normal sized guy I would have done them the way he did.

Here are pics of the ones I am selling. They are in the for sale section. They were made by Terry from Race Tech. No longer a sponsor.
