    Yes the Corbeau brackets are complete for their seats. Why would they sell you something otherwise? All Corbeaus are bottom mount, but a few of their seats can also be side mounted if you wish (such as the FX1).

    And personally, side mount > bottom mount.

      Side mounts are SUBSTANTIALLY more rigid that the bottom mounts. Scott had his bottom mounted at first and your could twist the hell out the seat. It flexed a ton once he got it out on track so he went with a side mount set up.

          I'd like to add that sidemounts have some flex designed-in to better follow the shape of the seat. But when fastened, they become very rigid.

            I will have a new batch of sidemounts produced. Instead of having them laser cut, they will now be CNC machined, brushed and anodized for added protection against scratches. I will try to keep the price at $70 + shipping. You'll be able to use them on stock BMW sliders, or directly on the floor with your own angle sections.

            Now sure what color the anodization yet though. Probably a light grey. Nothing to flashy.

                Black imo, just so they don't stand out much :)

                  i say black too. Lee, can I get them cheaper if they are just bare aluminum?

                    Black is indeed a good choice. Non-anodized will not be cheaper, and only offered on special order (and before they are produced). Keeping in stock different options is difficult. A BMW with the sunroof-delete option is more expensive than with sunroof.

                    I started a GB in the appropriate section.
