Installed the Binary Eng seat brackets on Saturday with a friend. It was a painless install and one of my favorite mods to date. As a tall guy the evos high seating position made it difficult trying to settle in but I lived with it. It was either legs good but steering and shifter too far or legs cramped under the steering while steering and shifter distance were good.

Seats out via the 4 14mm bolts and 6mm allen

About a solid 1.5-2" drop but it makes a world of difference. Should have done this a loooooong time ago.

Also installed some cf jdm rear extensions. I'm usually one to put performance before aesthetics but they were a gift and turned out pretty nice against the grey. I like subtle exterior mods...so I think I'll keep going along this vein:

Trip to Home Depot for hardware...M5 seems to do the trick

Double sided tape to check fit, drilled the bumper and bolted them up for the finished look:
