Just an FYI, Braum sells seat spacers that you can put between the brace and the slider and it will give enough clearance that the brackets will not touch the seat. This will also allow you to center the passengers seat. I was cheap and purchased some 5/16 flat fender washers and got perfect clearance.
solid video, would definitely recommend if you're looking for seats for the Z. And when you said " no one probs cares about the underside." I was interested, so thanks dawg!
your attention to detail is greatly appreciated. I have the same exact car in the same color which is why I subscribed in the first place a while back.
Thanks for the video. I'm looking at getting a pair of seats from Braum as well. They look good and you brought up some good points in your video to watch out for during installation. Did you ordered a specific size for your seats since you're 6' 4"? Or is that the size they come at? Thanks for the upload
I had the same problems with my Corbeau seats sitting so high that a helmet would not work so I bought that same set of brackets from Amazon and it's funny because I had the exact same issues that you brought up here with getting them installed. A friend at my350z said that those Amazon brackets are sketchy and you definitely don't want to use them for racing. The thing is they are double-layered in the planted or wedge brackets which is really not usable cuz it sits so damn high in this car, but they are safer. safer and useless.... as you pointed out. I bought two new seats with the brackets from Corbeau and they're totally unusable especially with a roll bar. I don't know what the hell they're thinking selling brackets like that I'm only 6 ft even and my hair is brushing the ceiling without a helmet. wtf? I think it's stupid that we have to buy these iffy brackets from Amazon with iffy welds. I would not want to get into a bad wreck and have the seat pop off the floor. I mean maybe the seat belt anchors on the chassis would save you but maybe not? The solution for a track car is going straight to the floor but for a street / track car? it sucks... I think probably find the right position and then skip the slider.
Seats look legit! Might be a mod of mine coming soon.. 🤔 I appreciate the detail and real perspective. 12:34 in to the video, are those staples on the bottom of the seat?? That’s honestly the only issue I have.
I ordered them off the website there only like 5 dollars a set can complete for both seats they sent me both passenger brackets so now ima have to wait to get the driver one from them
Overall pretty comfortable. I will say it sometime digs into my left thigh making it uncomfortable but that seems to be because I’m 6’4 with a 36inch waist. But usually it’s not to bad just a note since you asked.
Hey I have a 1979 porche 911 and I’m looking at the exact seats and seatbealts, do yoi know if I need essentially everything you have like the harness bar and the bracket on the bottom? And if so would i be able to just buy some braum seats or do I have to measure them because I really don’t know how to measure them, thank you so much and please get back to me whenever you can!
Hi! you'll definitely need the seat bracket for your car. You'll also need to measure because for my Z the seats do hit my doors. Not enough for me to do anything about it but it might be tight squeeze on the upper section for your Porsche. Also the sliders that come with the seats aren't the greatest. They slide but like to catch so maybe you might want to look into getting better ones.

Those seats set off the car!!! Guess what I'm buying, love your work, keep up the good job!

😂
fucking awesome! I love it, it fits so freaking well and it looks fantastic, aggressive 'nd so perfect for this particular car
your attention to detail is greatly appreciated. I have the same exact car in the same color which is why I subscribed in the first place a while back.
Resistor 3x 3.3 ohms tie them together and attach one wire to each end u should be good
I have the same brackets. If you have any questions when you go to install hmu. They are working out well for me. Both seats sit at the same height.
Also - look at getting the LRB Speed door panels. Check them out on my channel. They created a good 4-5 inches of space from seat to door. Love them.
Another - yes use a resistor in the plug. I used these ones. rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F182350980253
D Prent thanks! I'll check it out.
D Prent which OHM did you use?
Do your seat brackets on yours touch the door to ?
Those seats are so dope! 🔥
Thanks for the video. I'm looking at getting a pair of seats from Braum as well. They look good and you brought up some good points in your video to watch out for during installation.

Hi and no problem. I didn’t order a specific size. Pretty sure they are just one size.
These seats are sweet!!

When you buy sparco seats from the website do they come in a pair or just one piece? Anyone can help?
The seats are 🔥🔥🔥 Bro, nice choice, 🤙👍🤙👍😃
Nice tutorial, do you mind telling me the screw sizes you used to put this project together. 🤙🏽
Wow those seats really compliment your Z 👍
Seats look legit! Might be a mod of mine coming soon.. 🤔 I appreciate the detail and real perspective. 12:34 in to the video, are those staples on the bottom of the seat?? That’s honestly the only issue I have.
Those are ring clips. Similar to how oem seat hold the fabric tight.
So weird, all 4 of my braums came H6 bolts (16) washers(24), billet soacers (8) and lock nuts (8)...so weird.
Edit : numbers PER SET
Nice vid bro, what model seats are these?
I picked up the same brackets for my seats. What size hardware did you end up using to finish the project?
Sorry really don’t remember what size hardware I used.
I ordered them off the website there only like 5 dollars a set can complete for both seats they sent me both passenger brackets so now ima have to wait to get the driver one from them
What are your final thoughts on the Braum? Are they comfy enough to daily?
Overall pretty comfortable. I will say it sometime digs into my left thigh making it uncomfortable but that seems to be because I’m 6’4 with a 36inch waist. But usually it’s not to bad just a note since you asked.
@@ProjectKaiGarage33 Thanks for the info! Would you say its more comfy than the stock seats?
@@anthonyt.2284 I'd say yes but not by a lot.
I wanna know who gave this a thumbs down 🤦🏻♂️
sick video! do the sliders work using those type of brackets ?
They do but the sliders are cheap that came with the seats. I’d suggest buying different ones.
Nice Z
How much hardware did you need and sizes?
Hey I have a 1979 porche 911 and I’m looking at the exact seats and seatbealts, do yoi know if I need essentially everything you have like the harness bar and the bracket on the bottom? And if so would i be able to just buy some braum seats or do I have to measure them because I really don’t know how to measure them, thank you so much and please get back to me whenever you can!

@@ProjectKaiGarage33 thank you for responding!!!
did you have to get the brackets separately? If so how much are they
What size bolts did you buy for the brackets?
Anyone know how tall he is lol something tells me 6’4
What year is it and how much was it
did these seats come with sliders?
Yes
The sliders come with the braum seats
Yes they do. Not the greatest but they get the job done.
Kai Johnson u think this fit a g35 03
The seat bracketa
Js_Studios that I’m not sure. I know G35’s are longer than Z’s so not sure if the seat mounting holes are different.
What size hardware did you use to mount the brackets onto the sliders?
I really dont remember. sorry
How have they held up after a few years?
Been great but I don’t drive my Z that often. So they haven’t gotten a every day normal wear on them.
@@ProjectKaiGarage33 That is perfect, it is not my daily so I was just worried with having to replace in a few years.
how did you get the seats to to be the same height?
The seat brackets I got sit lower on the passenger side.
@@ProjectKaiGarage33 gotcha i order the same set up on the brackets form planted. TALL for passenger, LOW for Driver. great video man
@@julianzimmermann9540 I didn’t go with planted brackets for the reason the passenger side sits higher.
@@ProjectKaiGarage33 they no longer carry anything but planted now...
@@julianzimmermann9540 who? Braum? I just ordered brackets off amazon
