anyone install racing seats?

i was looking at these racing seats and was wondering how difficult the install would be and if there is any modifications needed. the website says it includes new brackets but i dont know what to expect.

I have not installed racing seats into a Maxima before - but have in several other cars.
I found that typically the front bolt points lined up fairly easy, while it took a bit of 'work' to align the rear mounting points - this was with 'slider' type connectors... (very much like the one shown in your link).

i got buckets in mine.

Needed a custom made seat bracket so the seat rail can sit on it.

Finding a place to make you the seat brackets shouldnt be hard.
TALK TO WEDGE ENGINEERING. Give them the Seat rail Dimensions and theyll work it out. if its too far for you, find a closer manufacturing shop.

Once you got the bracket, it should take 30-45 minutes to install 8 bolts.. if your really taking your time. pretty simple, well worth it.
