Anyone have the BK lowering brackets on GT3 seats?
If so...I would love some input. Anything....comparison between standard GT3 Seat mounts vs BK brackets...
I am very interested in doing this mod.
Thanks.

I have this mod. It gives me about 1.5" more headroom by raking the seat back more (the front mounting bolt is nearly the same height, the rear is lowered). For me at 6'4", it makes all the difference for wearing a helmet, and I find the setup so comfortable that I leave it in place for daily driving at 24,000 miles/year.
The trickiest bit of the installation was swapping over the seat rails - there are some Torx T10 fasteners which were very tight, so that the bit was chewing them up. In the end, I used some Canned Air held upside-down to freeze the fasteners which made it possible to undo them without further destruction.
Let me know if you have any questions.
