Ahh yes, then I could have left them full length but they would have poked out the end of the lugs and I don't like how that looks. All good, it's done now!

There is no way those are ARP studs at full length on that wheel... It would look like this, which is what mine would have looked like:

There are actually 3 sections: floor mount/base, sliders, side mounts and they bolt together in that order. You could get away with mounting the side brackets directly to the base I suppose however you'd need to make sure it was set at the perfect driving position for you as you would have no adjustment. You cannot bolt the seat directly from the bottom to the floor.

Yeah I know that. I was thinking base to floor and base to bottom of the seat that has a lower mount point along with side mounts. Or the side rails welded to floor and then bolted to seat. Just want as little weight as possible and cheapest price.

The side mounts and base will not make any discernible difference in weight. The seats are $1800 each as well, so another 10% to have it mounted properly isn't bad IMO. That said some people do like to ditch the sliders for a more secure install in the event of a crash at the track (sliders are prone to fail in those situations) and that makes sense to me. The holes that are in the seats now you would have to use as they are because there is simply no good way to make another attachment point on the seat itself. But ya, you could totally modify the base or mount the side brackets directly to the floor, there is enough clearance for that.

That's true. I guess I'll just buy the base. Bolt the seat to it even if I need to drill holes if the base holes don't line up. Then if the seats to low or something I may just have to spring for the side rails to raise it up and use the side mount holes.
