I have them. The seats sit a little higher than stock. Maybe an inch higher on the driver and a few inches on the passenger side.

Those are Planted mounts. A little pricey at $140 a piece, but worth saving the headache of fabbing them up (to me anyway).

Yeah a little expensive but it's worth it for guaranteed fitment.

FYI I opened the mounting holes a tad with a step bit. Not sure if they were off from the manufacturer or it happened post welding, but they were too far out of position tto start the bolts. Also the rear bolts are a PIA to start because the plate hangs over a bit in the rear. Take your time and dont cross thread them.

having second thoughts about the plates, some one did this with the original seat runners. Next time I get to the shop I am going to take a look at that option before I drop $280 on the mounting plates. I will take pictures after I attempt to fab them up. Thanks
