I have the rails that the seats go on and a bunch of bolts, but I don't know about brackets.

Yeah my car required sliders, brackets AND adaptor plates from SPARCO to make it fit. If you have everything then it takes all of 30 minutes to bolt it into the car, but I'm guessing you may not know, so yeah bring it in to a shop and they may end up making custom brackets anyhow which might even be cheaper. I bought my Torinos 2nd hand, but my brackets and etc all came from SPARCO and I paid huge for it all. :(

I have SPARCO Torinos and I've driven to Ontario and back in them. Very comfy over long hauls. Fixed seats will tend ot be a little less comfortable over long trips because they don't allow you to shift very much.

I've had Torinos in 2 of my cars and fixed ones in another one (Sparco Sprints). I have to say that the Torinos are very comfortable. I've driven to edmonton countless times and was doing sales in southern alberta so drove alot. Fixed ones weren't that bad but Torinos were better.

yeah it depends on the application. They raised mine slightly however, but I didn't mind because my stock seats seemed a bit low and I looked like a short ass when dirving. :)

If you made your own brackets you coudl get them lower because you wouldn't need all the adaptor palte shit to make thier universal brackets work.
