Got my seats in .....

Planted mounts
Tillet sliders
Tillet side mounts ( Taller TB3 )
Tillet carbon seats.

A huge ball ache to get right and get fitted in the correct position but two solid days of it saw me good. I have to say the planted bases are absolutely amazing. They literally allow a near OEM level of install , I was able to reuse the stock belt mount , plus the stock belt tensioner. Issues with them are access to the inner bolts is really difficult, plus they are tall... In my case this is perfect as the tillet carbon seats are extremely low profiled, im still to low even with the extra tall side mounts plus sliders. I'm now sitting IN the car , I feel cocooned , the seats really add to the special feel of the interior but the driving experience is transformed . Now go to get rid of the airbag light ����. Lastly these seats saved over 40kg from the car! insane! Whoever gets into an aftermarket seat install be prepared to modify most of the new and expensive hardware you just brought :-( , i had no idea of how involved this would to get right, installing is relatively easy but getting it all lined up and to your likening is whole different thing. ive spent days, installing an removing, drilling holes, re-installing, then repeating the whole process.
