Corbeau Revolution fitting

[Hugo-]

Hi guys....I recently purchased a corbeau evolution for my track sl*g

I am a bit confused regards to fitting...

Do I need side mounts and a new subframe?
Or just side mounts and they will fit my original subframe?

Please help.....

Whats the original subframe mate?

If you put that on sidemounts, it will sit slighly higher, so a lower subframe would be an idea if ones available.

Hi. I fitted a pair of the Revolution's into my 5 GTTurbo a few years back. I had to ditch the original subframes and bolt the seats to the floor using the Corbeau mounts. The only problem was that when i did this the seats were so low i could hardly see over the steering wheel! My solution was to raise the seats up about 2 inches on some metal mounts that a fashioned. I also had to purchase longer bolts to compensate for the extra height caused by my mounts I made as the ones supplied were too short. Just for your information i had to drill holes through the bottom of the car to get the bolts to fit as the Corbeau mounting points did not line up with the original mounting points on the car . This was all on a 5GT of course and slightly different seats so i do not know if you will encounter similar problems as i did. They look similar in the mounting department though. Hope this helps.

Not the best photos but you get an idea of what they look like in.
