Default A4 seats/bracket install

I just picked up some corbeau a4's and I'm aware of switching the seats in the car, but do you also switch the seat brackets as well?

I haven't been able to find anything stating whether to mount the passenger seat to the driver bracket or the passenger seat to the passenger bracket for the driver side.

Any info on this would be helpful.

Thanks

You may want to put a few washers between the seat brackets and the floor to tilt the seats back. Maybe a few between the seat and the seat bracket as well.

Thanks for the tip. I put a few between the seat and the bracket on the driver today and it feels pretty good. The seats without anything felt pretty good. I was surprised as it appeared the seat looked really low but it sits in the car nice.

Anyone know where I can pick up a seat harness? I really don't want to take out the one on the stock seat to put it back under the new seats for alleviating the airbag light. I would need one for the passenger a well as the bladder for the passenger side.

I had the 1LT so nothing special in the seats.

Thanks
