Default Need help with Corbeau A4 install

I just installed my Corbeau A4s in my coupe. They look and feel amazing. The only problem is that I need the seat to be farther forward. It's as far forward as I can get it right now, and I need another inch or so to put the pedals at a comfortable distance. Is there some way to modify the seat tracks to get the seat farther forward? I have Corbeau double locking bottom mount seat tracks if that makes any difference. I may also look into using the factory power seat track with the A4.

The ultimate DIY sticky in Tech has a documented procedure for the A4's. I don't know if it addresses this particular issue but might as well check it out.

Nope, it doesn't. I need the seat farther forward than the mounting holes will allow.

I'm assuming you've searched out Corbeau A4 and found nothing on your issue (I just did and came up empty handed). I would suggest PMing a member that has them and get their take on it.

Hello I am using after market fiberglass seats. Mine have side mount brackets and I mated them to the original floor brackets so I could have full motion. Are the seats you have side or bottom mount? Iether way it is pretty simple to fab them to your orginal floor mounts. I tried the floor mounts that came with mine but it was not far enough for me either. This is the second set I have installed so if you need pics or something feel free to pm.
