I have the cr1's, not yet installed. The optional brackets seem to be on the tall side for all vehicle applications.

Looking at the seats it shouldnt be hard at all to make a bracket to adapt the seats to the stock sliders or creat your own solid bracket.

Great seat. Even better for the steal I got them at :-D

I have them in my '68 and love them. I am only 5'11" though. You can talk to corbeau and i think they have an option for a thinner base to the seat which i know alot of 4th gen owners purchase.

Not FIA rated if that matters to anyone.

I'm 5'10 anf they fit awesome for me, but I could see >6' being a little tight. The brackets are also kinda a PITA to install (hard to get access under seat. But I don't know what more you couyld do, the clearance between the seat and floor is pretty tight. I don't think a lowe bracket could help much.

I'm also a healthy 200lb and I could almost use the wider version. My 'love handles' have to ride up in my lap!

I've got wide CR-1s and am 6'5". Great seats, but the mounting bracket was almost truck like - too tall. I made my own brackets that has a stud at the rear corners facing down that you bolt from underneath the car.

Wedge Engineering makes the seat brackets for Corbeau/Sparco/Etc. and from what I hear they supposedly offer a reduced-height bracket if you call them direct. Would be worth a call IMO.

I'm gonna cal them tommarrow, the brackets I got with my Corbeau's are rediculous, I have to slouch like a mother at 6'4" to even fit, still can't see traffic lights without leaning forward.
