You'll love em ! I put in a sparco Chrono Road seat for the driver side.

You will need some bolts for your seat bracket to mount to the car. The sparco brackets are decent but there is the left rear bolt hole for the driver side that is covered up so you can't reuse your stock torx. just wanted to give you the heads up.

Lio, you shouldnt need brackets or sliders. Just buy the side brackets and drill holes in the stock slider base. If you are powered seats u can leave motors in and make a little switch for back and forward movement with the track seat. Velcro it to the side of the seat shell.

Hey Lio thanks for helping with my seating decisions. Maybe I can help now. I ordered the 600 series base, the sliders and the side mounts. And if you put all of them on it actually sits higher than the stock seats.
So I ended up fix mounting it the the base with the side brackets. Which is no big deal since I'm the only one that ever drives it.
Now I just need someone to walk me through tricking the airbags with a resistor.

Damn dude. That looks bad ass. I haven't done mine. The whole project slowed down after my father passing away.

I'm barely catching up back with work and other stuff. And I'm still waiting for the damn roll cage to get here. Once that happens they install will happen .

I got all the parts already even got some tank plates. Did u get any harness?

Please tell me all the info about the install

You will need a Torx T 50.
No I haven't got harnesses yet as I have nothing to mount them too.
And I haven't done anything with the air bags yet (just clearing the light in the DIC)
It honestly wasn't very fun because the whole reason I was doing a seat was for head room. If I was short and would have used the sliders it's all straight forward and 100% boltin.
I had the seat in and out of the car literally 20 times. And had to drill some slots in the 600 series base. But anyone that isn't illiterate should be able to do this in a day. I suggest using the help of a willing friend.
All in all it took about 5-6 hours.
Just trying to find the right spot for the seat. Remember measure twice cut once. Well I measured probably 20 times and only had to drill 2 slots like the ones on the 600 series base. FIND TWO HEX HEAD BOLTS TO MOUNT THE BASE IN THE CAR THE FACTORY ONES DON'T FIT UNDER THE EDGES OF THE BASE. And if you do manage to get them in you will not be able to get the torx T50 on them.

As far as harnesses go after driving in this seat the only reason I would need something to hold me in better would be if I were braking Really Really hard.
Feel free to ask more specific questions. Hope this helps

Looks great. How much total weight reduction did you get with the new driver seat set up?

I don't know the stock seat weight but it was full power and heated so probably 65+ new seat is 19 and brackets are probably 5. I'll estimate at a 40lb loss

Just an FYI...My 1SS, non-leather, non-heated power stock drivers seat weighed in at 44Lbs
