Ahh, that's a good idea.
Is it uncommon for your seats to sit like 2" higher than stock on Megan Racing brackets?
why buy name brand when you can buy and uneducated copy.

haha yup thats why I made strukas the way I did to get it as low as we could with out modifying the floor pan. I made one for TC but he is pretty much like 5'3" and so had it sitting up high.

You wouldn't be able to reproduce those brackets, would you?

I'm not sure I can fix mount them without drilling the brackets...even if I could, I think that the seat would sit HELLA far back...

Thanks for the suggestion Matt. It worked out well. The bolt holes for the front matched right up on the mounting bracket, however the rears were about 2.25" too far forward and about .5" inside of the bracket, so I visited a local steel shop and had them cut me 2 pieces (2" x 3.5") of .25" thickness steel and I drilled holes out to make adapter brackets.
