My Z4 came with the Planted mounts, and they leave some things to be desired. While they seem decently constructed, the mounting tabs to the floor are pretty thin, and the mounts could be lower. Additionally, the inner floor mounting tabs (near trans tunnel) are under the main structure making them essentially impossible to properly tighten the fasteners (factory fasteners are 28ft-lb + 90deg).
I would choose the VAC mounts every day of the week.

i did notice those inner bolt locations looked difficult to reach.... ive also read they are quite high, The tillet carbon shell seat is VERY low.... so this will be helpful in my case. Their must be a way i an access those inner bolts, even if i have to trash a tool to make it work.
