Default Cobra Suzuka pro mounting bracket selection?

i recently got a suzuka pro from a buddy and ive seen lots of guys in the forum using them on their c5 c6, i have a c5 and would love to bolt them on as the stock seat sucks. Wondering whats the budget friendly seat mount and bracket combination to make it work?

i am 5''9 and have short legs so might have to take that into consideration


Thanks in advance

Planted sells side mounts for ~$90 in steel, not sure on their bases.

I used the Planted base for my passenger seat, it required some customization. For my drivers seat I didn't need it to slide so I just had a race shop fabricate a fixed base out of aluminum for ~$150.

I have a Suzuka Pro GT in my C5 on Hardbar rails. I'm also ~5'9" but with slightly longer legs so my seat may be a little further back than you'll want it. That said, my seat hits the console on the right side leg bolster. I'm not sure if I could get it much further forward if I wanted to. You can somewhat see it in this picture, next to the shifter. I'd get the seat into the car and figure out where you'll need it to go before going crazy on the mount.

Just an FYI, I have a pair of Cobra Suzuka's I'm going to put up for sale very soon with bases and brackets. I'm 6.0' 210 lb and my shoulders are a little too wide.
