I think so far everyone has been talking about seats that fit and that's great info but can we talk about brackets real quick?

How do you guys find brackets and know which one works for what seats?

I mean the seats are important but isn't the bracket the determining factor that finalizes how far low the seat sits? Are you guys content with having one that slides forward and back or are you like me and need one that also adjusts up and down?

My main problem is my g/f takes my s2k out quite often and she is short (5' tall) whereas I'm 6'2.

I like to be low and all the way back but she needs it up quite a bit and also needs it higher up.

Her other car is a VW Beetle and that seat has this pump mechanism that allows the seat to be adjusted up and down (pump action man!)

Has anyone here tried to use bracket that allows for height adjustment?

I don't track my car and don't need a 1-piece bucket seat - prefer a reclineable comfy seat


thanks

My S would be absolutely perfect if I could sit just 1" to 2" lower in the cockpit.

Finally buckled down and spent some money. Bride Zeta III's w/ Bride FG rails at lowest setting.



Slight brush against the center console door but nothing major

Rubs on the door panel, heard it's not suppose to rub but it does.



All in all, a very awesome seat that is lightweight, very very supportive and comfortable.

you might be able to get it to not rub if you play with the mounting bolts alittle.

I had it at the medium height setting, and then put it at the lower setting but it's not low enough to get below the hard "plastic" of the door down to the indented leather area. I'll just learn to like it I guess. I'm about 5'10" 135lbs so I don't want Mugen rails because the seat will be too low. Oh well. Thanks for the advice though.

You're talking about the seat right? I don't know, I haven't tried it. I'll check it out tomorrow.
