Has anyone installed Kirkey Race Seats in their e90 car? Trying to figure out the hardware mounting situation. Post pics if you have any, Thanks
Kirkey Race Seats e90
- Thread starter Idratherbesurfing
- Start date
- 17" Series 55
- VAC floor mounts. Bought both driver and passenger mounts (they are different). I forget but I use one mount from the driver and another from the passenger for what you see in the pics. Positions the seat better with the steering wheel and pedals is what the shop told me. Don't think it's required though.
- Kirkey seat brackets. Bought VAC ones but they don't work very well with Kirkey's.
I sold them to the shop doing the cage so they can use it on other builds. Kirkey brackets work the best for these seats.
So did you drill your own holes in the side of the seat to mount it? If you dont mind can you post the links of products you used to make this work?
Yea, had to make the holes in the seat.
Kirkey Series 55 seats. I have the 17" wide one. Comes in a few widths.

Not an E9x, but here are pics of mine, I ended up designing "monocoque" sheetmetal stainless steel mounts that are both super stiff and super light

I could if the demand is there. Trouble is, they are fixed (keep weight down to an absolute minimum), but I guess there is some leeway in where to drill the mounting holes in the seat, and I could add mounting holes into the design... These weigh ~2.5lbs per seat (i.e. per pair), and I repeat are SUPER stiff. No sense in running 8lb brackets on 12lb seats...
