Hmmm, Wedge Engineering's part numbers for 3000GT seat brackets part numbers 996T and 997T look A LOT like Corbeaus seat bracket part numbers 996T and 997T. I bet they are just reselling Corbeau brackets. Even if they aren't, there just really isnt any way to set a seat lower and still have a slider. And I can tell you that, with my Corbeau TRS seats and brackets, the seat does sit a good bit higher than the stock seats. Part of that is the TRS seat is 'thicker' than the stock seat. Even after removing the slider part of the bracket, the TRS seat still sits a little too high for me. It's FINE for normal street driving, but I run out of head room when wearing a helmet for the open track days. I picked up some CF shell racing seats in the for sale section that I'm going to be installing soon. Probably have to fab some custom brackets to mount them tho.

In my case I wanted to install the Evo X Recaro Seats to my VR4 and so far the only option I have is just weld the stock brackets to the Recaro eliminating the Evo brackets, sliders etc...

I need a find a set soon to complete my project.

Anyway they seem to be a good alternative and good Customer service but unfortunately they could not make my brackets and be 100% sure will have proper fitting. Call Wendel.

I installed some racing seats in my car and had brackets made (custom)
Seat does sit a bit higher.
One thing I recommend for the weight savings is just get a set of cloth seats and install them vs using the power seats.
Saves alot of weight and dont have to sacrifice the interior room height...

wedge engineering brackets actually the maker of recaro seat brackets that fits to any bottom mount recaro seats like the srd or spd models. its not design for the side mounting seats!

I just finished installing racing seats using the universal sliders that came with them combined with the stock seat bracket modified a ton. I really dont think that you can make them sit lower the way mitsubishi designed the floor in the 3S is stupid each mounting location is higher or lower than the other so from what I can tell you just have to adjust to aftermarket seat being slightly higher than a stock seat its really not that big of a deal unless your over 6'3" or like somebody else mentioned wearing a helmet at the track.
