Arrow People with aftermarket seats-inside-

Well my cousin just gave me his new R-1 RSR style seats.
I test fitted them, and the factory brackets from my camaro line up and every thing, but it makes the seats sit up too high. The reason is because i have to use spacers top make the factory brackets fit the coutour of the new seats.

Anyone know where i can get seat brackets that will fit to the contour of the bottom of the R-1 Seats? They have a slight upward curve in the front.

If you got the brakets working then leave it like that. My Targa RS seats sit up higher than the stock ones did. I got the brakets from carbua too. I dont like the brakets too much they only lock on one side and when you hit the breaks the seat moves a little.

Just enjoy the new view. You get to see alot more sitting up that high.

I'm in the same boat, and I have Corbeau CR1's. I got the brackets straight from them and it raised the seats up quite a bit. I also have a t-top car and I'm 6'3" and my head doesnt stick out of the tops. I've come to like the new view and ride height, I would probably feel too low if I went back to stock!
