Please do so and post pics. Thanks.

Alright guys, found this thread and it seems like a pretty simple solution for anyone doing the passenger seat as well so the occupancy sensor will still work.
Good find.

Don't ever buy a seat without sitting in it first unless you wanna turn your f into a too tight garage queen, lol.

Seats are installed along with resistors. I still have an airbag light bug I'm pretty sure it is due to the weight sensor for the passenger seat not being plugged in. I should've installed the driver's seat and resistor first and checked for the airbag light becuase that would confirm that it is the unplugged weight sensor triggering the light. Anyways, I have pulled the module and harness for the weight sensor off of the stock passenger seat as well as buying a used weight sensor. Once that sensor comes in and I install it we'll see if that does the trick for the SRS light.

I drove it 100 miles last night and I'm actually super impressed with how comfortable it was!

Thx for the non-snarky response to my slightly snarky post. I do want to hear about these, as i purchased a very slightly used one (only @ SEMA per seller) with a pair of Bride slider brackets for our cars. The Vios III will go into one of my mr2s, and the f will get a pair of Bride Gias IIs once i can figure out how to wire 'em in so the airbags are operational.

Do the Vios place you any lower in the F than the stock seats in their lowest position?

I have the front bolt in the top hole of the two on the seat and the top hole of the Sparco sidemount (second highest overall mounting position.) The rear bolt is in the highest position on the sidemount and it pretty much sits at the same overall height as the stock seat at it's lowest position but with your legs at more of a straight out in front of you position, which is great. So you could sit in on the floor if you wanted to as well but at my height I wouldn't be able to se **** lol.

We are similar heights, and I feel my head is too close to the ceiling. It’s tight with a helmet on, I have to seriously lean to put the helmet on. Lowering the seat 1.5 -2 inches would be perfect.

It definitely has room to go down another couple inches.
