Fitted at first fully adjusted to the center, the seat was still visibly tilted towards the door, too far to the door by about two inches, and uneven front to back. We slotted the bolt holes where the seat bolts to the bracket almost a half inch more and there was no noticeable effect. We had to cut, reweld, level, cut, reweld, cut, reweld the bracket where it bolts to the floor so many times that we had to repaint it and it really would have been better to make one ourselves. Also, Chris reports that his tailbone hits a piece of metal in the seat frame where the bottom meets the back. We took the seat apart and covered it in weatherstrip - problem solved. The side bolsters make getting in and out different, but you figure it out.Good:The seating position is much lower, and there is much more front to back travel in the seat now. Chris is 6' 3" and the seat had to be in the full back position and then uncomfortably reclined just for him to drive. Now he is about halfway back on the settings. Because the seat is so thin, even him being that tall allows almost 3 inches more legroom for the passengers in back. The bolsters hold you in so well that the stock seatbelt is pretty pointless other than in a crash. The car feels much more nimble and easier to drive at the limit. The seat is significantly lighter.<img src="http://i161.photobucket.com/albums/t221/cjr2003firefly/cobra060-1.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="http://i161.photobucket.com/albums/t221/cjr2003firefly/cobra059.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="http://i161.photobucket.com/albums/t221/cjr2003firefly/cobra058.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />- Julia</blockquote>
