once you install the lowered brackets you will be in love. I left my passenger seat tall. Looks cooler also when you see the seats from the outside imo
He was 6'4" with the lower BK mounts? Hoping my come in next week so I can get back to a decent seating position. Going to be shouting this from the rooftops for a while since it really isn't mentioned enough.

If one wants the GT3 seats, one needs to be short, or buy the BK lowering mounts.

I'm 6'4". With the BK mounts and sliders, my head would brush the roof liner when going over speed bumps. Driver side bucket is now floor mounted (BK R-9080 with R-9042). Love everything about the seats, position, and sight lines now.

So wait....have your seats shipped yet? I'm in the same situation as OP is with some Clubsport Full Carbon doors......the communication post sale considering the cost of the doors could be better regardless of Covid or not.

The seats were picked up today via DHL and are on the way.

Despite being told since day 2 that the seats were packed and ready to go, the seats took about 27 days to ship once my bank wire cleared.

I felt like he was a great salesman. Communication quick and constant before money was sent. Once money was sent it was ok. After money cleared it was not acceptable IMO. I think my post made this clear. Why the communication changed I don’t know. Most businesses these days look to covid as reasons why.

I would order from them again but I would Definately ask more questions before sending the money next time.

Good luck with your doors.

LOL I know I know... now I get to do the un-funny thing and explain a joke.

In the Seinfeld episode people were referencing to riff on the seat situation - George is bragging about how he bought "Jon Voight's car" until Jerry finds a registration in the glovebox belonging to a John Voight.

So I was asking - who is Walter Rhorl?






.....I'm funny.

Hilarious. I might not have seats yet but at least we can laugh about it.

Nice. Is there room to move it back further if you needed to? My impression is that the positioning is limited by the floor mount.
