there is a brace under ur seat that electrically raises and lowers ur seat... like a scissor bracket lets say... if u couldnt move ur seats up and down electrically u wouldnt have these brackets... im saying remove the hardware under the seat completely and switch to hardware of a seat that just moves forward and backward (flatter hardware). i said supra because i have read on this site that the bolt onto our cars. not that ive tried it

sorry for the bad pic but thats what im guessing our bracket looks like seeing as i got it off a site that said sc400... see how bulky it is...compare that to lets say sparco brackets

I've always wondered why ppl are willing to pay 4-500 dollars for supra seats. They are ugly and they are not even that comfortable. RSX seats looks nice but still not enough comfort. I rather put in recaro copy seats rather than supra seats? Am I crazy?
