    Seat Mount Install Q's

    Greetings All,

    I just picked up some billet seat mounts from Garagistic, to use with a couple new Recaro's. I want to keep the carpet in and whole, however, there is about 1" change in elevation on the floor beneath where the outer mounts would sit. This would mean the mount would sit very cockeyed. Am I right in my conclusion that to keep the carpet I will need to instead go with something like the Planted mounts?

    I do plan to use sliders as well and I am debating between the PCI mounts and the Recaro Inside Bar Without Tabs. Any thoughts on either of these?

    Thanks

    You can use those but as you tighten down the 16mm bolts you’ll notice how much it crushes the carpet and foot vent.

    Recaro sliders for Recaro seats, always.

    Gotcha. Man, not too keen on the idea of crushing stuff.
