I've had a long relationship with Corbeau over the years (as a customer) and I believe they were working on FD-specific brackets several months ago. It may be worth the effort to ring them up and find out if the brackets are complete. I used a pair of GT9CS seats (no longer made) which are quite large, mated to aluminum brackets. I used the Corbeau sliders and fabbed everything else up myself. Wasn't too hard really....As soon as the car is out of the shop, the seats will go in and I'll take a few images for people to see. BTW..had them recovered in Ultrasuede (looks/feels just like real suede, great wear characteristics and VERY easy to clean) which is grippy like the material used in the R1-specific seats.
