Hey Easyc, thanks for the heads up but I was aware of the two different lowering brackets. One for floor mount and a set for slider mounting. I have the BK 9078 and 9079 brackets made to mount to the GT3 seat sliders.

I did notice that now my seat belt buckle recepticle is now squeezed tight between my seat and the center console tunnel for both seats and sits lower as well. It used to stick up about a half an inch above the side of the seat and it used to have space on both sides of the recepticle bewteen the seat and the center console. The bolt that anchors the seat belt recepticle to the side mount bracket must be lower than on the stock brackets. I think this is why I was having a hard time with the seats going in. The seat belt recepticle was hitting the center console and keeping me from being able to slide the seat over enough to line-up the holes in the slider base with the holes in the floor.

yeah those are the same mounts I used on both seats and still use on my passenger side... they fit... its just a tight squeeze... really tight...I got frustrated too, but it worked... you may have to mount the brackets without the seat in them... then squeeze the seat between them and fasten it... you could also try mounting the seatbelt receptor with a bolt and backing to the tunnel... much like a lap harness would be on a 986 or 996 race car...

Oh I finally got them in. It was just a lot harder than I expected. The GT3 seats went in fine last month before I tried the lowering brackets.
