A pair of Sabelt GT3 buckets going into a C32 AMG. The Planted bracket, the runner that keeps the seat adjustable, which Sabelt side mounts to pick, and the seat airbags and wiring that make a W203 a bigger job than the brackets suggest.

A pair of Sparco R100s going into a Skyline R34. The Planted bracket, the runners, cloth against vinyl, why the BRIDE rails you have been looking at will not take this seat, and the one question Garreth asks before he lets anybody order the lot.

Five reclining sport seats for a Toyota Chaser, from the Sparco R500 to the Recaro Sportster CS, on the same Planted SB418 bracket as our bucket guide but with runners in place of side mounts. Includes which runner matches which bolt pattern.
