Does anyone know how to mount C4 seats? is this a good seat to use, or should I consider something like a sparco instead.

I have a set of Garry Herrig C4 Seats.
They are primarily held in by the passenger and the seat belt.
Per the instructions - you use the existing Pantera Seat Tracks, and install a set of bolts / spacers through the bottom of the seat bucket.
You have to drill some new holes in the plastic bottoms, but it is very minor effort.
My seats are nice looking, and they are comfortable. I had to remove (shorten?) the spacers below the stock seat tracks, and I removed the wires on the underside of the seat cushion to drop the seat pad down to give me more headroom.
I am happy with them. They fold forward for ease of removal of the large bulkhead.

Rocky,
Thanks for your response, when you say the seat tracks, are you suggesting the original sliders tracks, if so, do the seats have the ability to move forward and backward? I have the original slider tracks, there just not mounted. I had a whole new tube frame and new floor pans put in my car, the floor pans are not stock. I don't want my seats to be fixed, I would like a little adjustment. Any thoughts.

I also have the C4 seats. Yes, the seat tracks he refers to are the original slider tracks which enables forward/backward adjustment assuming your floor pans have the room for it.
Bill,
There have been multiple discussions about seats on this forum. Use the search function. No need to duplicate the effort to find what works and what doesn't. Of course what is ideal for one person isn't necessarily what you might prefer.
