. thanks to this thread and the forum's DIY i was able to get the weight sensor to work perfectly, and since these seats have airbags integrated they were PnP

Also amazing looking seats... Are these the Nismo Juke seats that were floating around in the FS section recently?

none. the stock juke frame has height adjustability (and i even epoxy'd the driver side height adjusting lever, but its there for show), but these seats are mounted just like any other aftermarket seat. wedge engineering bracket, double locking sliders.

you can add washers where the seat mounts to the bracket to put the seat up higher, but without washers the seat sits about an inch taller than stock. im only 5'9 so it doesnt bother me at all.

Yes, Takata commissions Cobra to make their seats. You can get the Misano slightly cheaper. The one above is the Anniversary edition.

Ok I can't find it. Planted aren't the greatest, what was the other bolt in company that's better? I need a base plate and the side rails.

Wedge Engineering is who I think you're thinking of.

i dont know. the pics look much better for the planted. the wedge looks like just steel rod welded together with no real mounting surface for the risers.

Just saw this and on a fluke, first time I have visited this thread!

Yes we carry Sparcos, and damn you chips... They look good

The biggest problem I have with seat mounts for this car is it's hard to get them low enough, given low headroom in this car and the funky floorpan shape. Ditching the idea of sliders helps as that kills another inch or so of height (plus the seat is a lot more stable both for driver-feel and in a wreck...). But the bottom line is any of the universal-ish brackets (e.g. the Sparco ones, Planted, etc) isn't going to be as awesome on managing seat height as something custom-fabbed for exactly where you want the seat at. It doesn't cost that much to hit up a reputable local racecar builder and have them fab up your seat-mounting solution based on your body size, seat, and car, and you'll get a superior solution.
