Has anybody tried these on a regular lancer seat?

Looks like the front will match up....

Ordered these from Binary directly to Switzerland
received one week later which is fast considering the low shipping price

I'm 1m83 tall, that's 6 feet or 72 inches

best quality/price/effect part I have ever bought for my evo !
great change, I got a better driving position I can see my gauges better, am closer to the gear lever, have a better foot position on the left foot-resting thing so am held in position better during spirited driving

and as a bonus by having a slightly lower point of view it feels like my car is going slightly faster lol

thanks Jared for the great brackets, a must buy

I recently revisited the issue with losing the two forward most positions after installing these awesome brackets. The issue is with the rail contacting the top of the stock acorn nuts securing the front brackets. As mentioned previously, open end nuts with washers will eliminate this problem. I didn't see the right size mentioned in ths thread so here it is.

M10x1.25 fine pitch nuts (get the locking ones with the plastic insert and/or use loctite)
M10 washers

These will give you full seat adjustment range for the shorties in your life.

Got mine installed this weekend...the seating position is awesome!
Very happy with the product and results so far.
Here is some evidence of how much a difference it made and how I handled the last couple (forward) seating positions.

As you can see, its a very nice drop in seat height...





This is how I slightly bent the adjustment bar...
Stood on the ends and pulled up...I had no issues.



This is the nut that didn't allow complete forward seat adjustment.



HomeDepot solution...
