   so just looking into getting some buckets at some point
   
   just on demon tweeks clicked on some buckets, what else do you need? im a total noob with this, i can see side mounts, they are how they connect to the seat to the car yes? but i would like some runners, just for drivers seat as i wouldnt want it to be too far away that i cant reach pedals...
   
   this is just an example
   
   seats here then options, those side mounts, just doesnt look like you could fit runners to them...
   
   rep given

   think you are going to struggle to get seats that allow base and side mount. if im right you want side mount for the passenger and basde mount/runners for driver. i havent noticed any seats that allow base and side mount otherwise just buy a set of base mount seats and put runners on passenger seat aswell

   dont buy from DT matt.
   
   rip off
   
   not many seats take both sidemounts and basemounts.
   
   sidemounts are the ones i have on mine at the moment. where they bolted to the side of the seat.
   
   most buckets take basemounts. and if you want runners, you will need base mounts
   
   as i said, dont get them from DT. absolute rip off IMO. about 45 for the subframe. and then another 40 for the runners or something stupid like that!!
   
   hope that helps.

   only need one set of runners tho, passenger side doesnt need them. cant remember what it felt like in your car with just side mounts
   
   i like to be quite close when track driving

   one thing to think of matt... sidemounts or even base mounts without runners are lighter

   got my bucket and mounts from DT - cheapest corbeau revolution in the country good times
   
   if you're gonna do it properly, dont bother with base mounts or runners - weld some seat rails in, mount your side mounts to that, and then bolt into your seat.
   
   sorted

    Base mounts, then some adaption bars, fit them to your side mounts and then they will all fit together so you can slide your side mounted seat

    surely you'd be sitting so high your head would touch the roof?
