Exclamation Bucket Seat Problem?? Anyone??

Hey guys! I bought my FC about a month ago and it came with APC Bucket Seats uninstalled. Not my first choice but anyways, I could tell that they werent going to mount right of the bat so I took the sliding bracket off my stock seats and adapted it to the Bucket Seat. It worked great for the drivers side, but now I am stock on the passanger side because it has that slight unlevel bracket if you know what I mean. So when I put the Bucket Seat in it sits crooked. Where do I go from here? i dont want to run jsut the one seat, but I dont want the stock ones either. Any ideas for another way to mount it to a bracket?

Thanks

you can buy spacers and longer bolts to even the seat out from homo depot. just put the spacers between the seat and the bracket

had the same problem with ya man had APC seats in my car n i had to custom my mounting brackets.. just go to home depot as scheistermeister said and youll be good.. my passanger seat is a lil higher though because i have an amp under there... make sure you dont mount them to high or else theyll hit the ceiling. good luck.. APC seats are kind of bad though i gotta get new ones.. but hey point A to point B for now right?

You can rip the bottom out of your stock seats, and mount the APC seat to the top of your stock seat rails. Worked great in a friend of mine's car, and his APC seats sit pefectly level.
Only thing, is that I can't ride passenger with him because my head hits the headliner.

Ummmm... It may be just point A to point B right now but you must think of safety as well... If those seats aren't properly mounted you never know what could happen in a wreck. You have to be careful when messing with safety equipment.
