If you need to make slight adjustments after using the lowering brackets, I would just run a thick washer found at any hardware store between the floor and bracket (and longer bolts if needed). I did this and got the perfect angle.

 

I just installed the oem rear brackets with the front lowering brackets. Only drove it for 1 day like that and so far I like this combo. Its basically the stock rear height with the advantage of having the front lowered. Having a lower front allows more steering wheel leg room and helps with leg posture for pushing the clutch in. Previously the bucket style "dip" of the seat brought your butt real low and your legs inclined. So trying to push the clutch brought a challenge of your under part of the leg fighting against the front end of the seat cushion.

So that any one knows, you have have to modify the front bracket slightly to get it to fit with using the oem rear bracket. I had to drill another hole on the front lowering bracket for the setup to work. I dont think the safety of the seat is compromised that much but I also have the assurance of the oem bracket holding the rear part of the slider.

 

they make these for the X?

 

No, X's don't work with the basic lowering concept. Sucks.

 

So it looks like the only thing keeping the seat from moving forward to all its positions is the bolt near the door? I too it off and the seat has full travel. So I will be replacing the stock nut with a open ended nut so my girl can drive the car again.....

 

what do u all of u guys do with the stock bracket.... let me buy it

 

I have mine for the day when I decide to replace all the stock parts.

 

Kyoo... I may still have mine... cant remember if I ditched them or not when I moved

 

Throw them out already
Plus why would you need them mind me asking?

 

lolol thanks guys i bought one from someone

 

Wish they had something like this for the X, I feel like its a bit high stock.

 

The X just doesn't have the right slider system and design to make lowering feasible - I tried. Just put in some real race seats!

 

Great review!! def. possibly looking into getting this as the height on the oem seat is a tad bit high...

 

Have been looking into this cause i feel like im sitting so high and then i get in my brothers 2g eclipse and it feels like youre part of thecar. But i have a base 03 es. do you guys think the brackets would fit the base lancer too even though it has different stock seats?

 

It will fit the frame, but not the stock lancer seats. You'd need EVO seats.
