Here's a supplement video for the passenger side on securing the under-seat module.

PSA for any owner thinking of ordering before their car arrives…

I was meaning to order some after having read about them being necessary. Also, from watching reviews online it appeared to show people sitting too upright.

I simply never got around to ordering them.

now that I have my car, I’m surprised to say that these brackets aren’t necessary. I find the seat and the angle of the seat to be perfect.

of course, YMMV.

Just stating my experience.

not meant at all to diminish the product itself, I’m sure it’s great.

Thanks for your post. 100% agree that new car owners shouldn't order seat angle brackets until they have some seat time in their new car to determine for themselves. Seating position in itself is a very personal subjective preference for each driver, and to their body shape and usage. It is impossible for one seating position to please every car owner in the world. As such, we often get praises on this product yet sometimes not. TPC seat angle brackets produce seating position to that of a factory 992 Cup car.

I was planning on ordering them myself but the past few long trips (3h drives) were wonderful with stock LWBs. Additionally from a couple track days my helmet clears just fine (6’0”) with the seat down on the lowest height.

@Tom@TPC Racing curious; will there be any other sizes available? The current bracket offered raises the front by about 1 inch. Could there be a version that raise it 2 inch rather? I am 6’2 and with a helmet and HANS device it is hard to get clearance to the roof. Plus the higher the front the more comfortable…

I have a track spec set (decided to stick with the stock seat position) that I'm not going to be using. If anyone wants them shoot me a message.

We only make the brackets in one size to achieve the seat angle of the 992 Cup.
