The wifey and I just did a couple hundred miles. I am loving the lower height. I can see traffic lights, and it's just a more comfortable driving position. My legs are straighter now, giving my ankles a better angle on the pedals. I gained about 2" of headroom ( I have a sunroof ), and that's when I'm sitting relatively square. I have already noticed the difference on my neck, back and arms. The stock lumbar adjustment range left a lot to be desired, but the new seats are just what I need. I still have some tweaking to do, and I'll make it look pretty once I get it finalized, but all in all, I'm happy with it.

I have tweaked the seating position a few times. I'd like to get them covered in leather, but the funds aren't there for it right now.

Now you just need to post photos for the rest us of the brackets you fabbed, or better yet start manufacturing them.

The seats are already gone. The brackets I fabbed up were only temporary. Once I get the final seating position I'll take measurements and make some new ones that I'll weld up and then powdercoat. The ones in the car now are ugly, but allow me to make changes.

Father, I would love to check those seats out sometime since you're in the area. I was looking to convert my stock SS seat to the performance seat but those look sweet.
