I would think someone will chime in as there are quite a few people who have aftermarket seats in their C5s. At $24 a pair, I definitely understand why you would want to know.

Out of curiosity, why do you think you need them at all?

Default Bolts needed

The 5th seat belt bar goes in front and the other bars go under the back. That’s why I was asking how many I needed my stick bolts to short

I installed all 4 that came with my AMT mounts (driver’s side only so far). However, I don’t see any reason you’d need them on the front bolts since no “other” things are bolted there. On second thought, maybe since the holes in the new mounts and the washers they come with are larger than stock, maybe the extenders are worth it on the front just for the better fit.
