Don't do it!!!!

I did and I took them back and replaced them for the proper Corbeau subframes.

I sat so high with the adaptor bars that my head hit the ceiling, my girlfriends feet were dangling from the seats. Moral of the story - dont be cheap

ive got corbeau forza sports on these mainly cos some tit has fucked up all the bolts so i couldnt remove passenger side, so i put on standard for now. I think they are ok, dnt seem too high, feels about right tbh. tempted not to bother wi corbeau frames now

Dont do it i had racliners and even a short ass like me found them too high

Just get the cobra runner save yourself soo much hassle. Altho cobra runners are prety shit too and need a bit of work to get them to fit the corsa

Take the actual seat off the floor pan, tuen it upside down and in the subframe are 4 bolts, 2 front and 2 back on the inside but at the side of the seat.

just undo these.
