Yeah, I'd love to see how this was done. Do they sit higher or lower than the stock ones?

they sit higher unfortunatly.

i'll take pictures of the brackets in the daylight and explain them. its a rather simple concept, but harder to actually fabricate than it is to describe

Crap I barely fit in my car as it is. What about GSR seats? Does anyone know if they're comparable to the Del Sols? I'd like a seat that has support and is at least the same height or lower than my stocks.

I can't see the picture very clearily. Maybe use the flash or go somewhere with more light. But from what i see, it looks pretty damn impressive.

good job, i've had the rsx-s leather ones in my coupe for a while now, they do sit higher and are a bit stiffer than i'd like. I put them in my own way, but i'm still a little curious on how you got yours in.

Whoa, that's crazy. When I drove an 96 for the first time, I thought it felt way too high with the stock seats, can't imagine being higher
