You're going to need to make custom brackets, or just bolt them straight to the floor. What's your major complaint about the stock seats? Might I suggest seat covers? You can get them with lumbar support if that's where you're not getting any support.

The TurboII seats are nice, imatation recaros as a matter of fact, and they bolt right in!
Seriously, I got a driver's side seat from a jukyard and recovered it (winter sewing project). Came out really nice!
For aftermarket, I've heard the Targa RS is too big for a FC. Better choice from Corbeau is the A4.

eh get some racing seats from sparco they have nice seats and they are both performance oriented and comfort oriented how much you want depends on the type of seat corbeau is good also just dont get the non reclinable or cheapest ones in racing seats you pay for what you get

the targa RS do raise the seating positon, but if you're short then it's just right. If you're tall then, look elsewhere. I'm 5'6".....i like them. although the brackets they sold were worthless since they didn't fit. Lots of drilling.

I have the leather gxl seats. I think they're pretty good. Except the passenger side gets pushed forward a little too much. I remember the old seats being further back on the passenger side. I have an 86' N/A base model

The seats in my tii are comfy. Ugly, but comfy. Except on the drivers seat, the padding like went under the bar. So when you first climb in the car you sit on a hard bar. Its kinda gay.

i got the gxl leather seats, they stink for racing. Leather is so slipery and when you corner you slide out of them. I want to put a non-adjustable corbeau seat in my car.

if you're going non adjustable, then make sure you fit test it before you buy it, or else your back could get sore from long trips.
