Those with front "Viper" buckets...

I just purchased a pair of Viper seats in PRESTINE condition (pass. side has a lil scuff on the right side leather bolster, but other than that, the upholstery is FLAWLESS!) and the driver's seat didn't come with a seat bracket. Now, the SXT seats are the exact same as the "airbag" seats that came in the SRT's and RT's, styling-wise (I think anyways?)...and they have the same brackets. Would the bracket from my SXT seat work for the Viper seat? I can't find out for sure cuz my car is in storage 50 miles away from me. Can anyone answer this question?

Hey, i am almost positive that they use the same bracket, i don't see why not, when i upgraded, the bolts and everything matched up to bolt them to the frame, and the way you adjust the seat is the same. I would give it a 99% chance that they are the same.

Alright...well I'll hopefully find out tomorrow...taking the driver's seat down to my car and if the shop isn't full, I'll pull the car in and see if it'll bolt up to the stock frame.

Thanks Brandon for the reply!

Just wondering...how did you get the seats and not the adjusters? I swapped the seat assemblies from my ACR into a SRT-4 that was being sold to Carmax

I'm pretty certain they are the same. Looks nice!

i think all neon brackets are the same
i have a bracket from a first gen and its identical to the one on my 05 sxt
which brings me to ask if ud be willing to sell one of the brackets off any of the seats

Well the passenger side had the adjuster and the driver's side did not. I'm guessing he needed the adjuster for a racing seat or something. I bought them at a local speed shop that specializes in Vipers and SRT-4s...they race them. Place is called "Archer Racing". Pretty sweet place!

Ah, I wonder if that is the Archer Brothers. Tommy Archer campaigned Vipers back when Chrysler was sponsoring them, and continued after the pulled their support. Good find!

Yes, that is Archer Brothers, renamed "Archer Racing". I believe it was Tommy who sold me the seats. I usually deal with a guy named Jeremy that works there...VERY good guy to deal with!

Anyways, an update...I pulled out my SXT seat from my car this weekend and started to unbolt the bracket, when I compared the seats to one another, and I could tell just by looking at them, that it wasn't going to work. The brackets from the SXT and Viper seats are totally different. I called Jeremy yesterday and I have to bring in one of the seats OR the bracket from the pass. seat, and they'll find me a driver's bracket. Like I said...GOOD GUYS!

Hehe, that is a concern. You learn quickly after the first good whack!

is his name ballshunglo or something? How'd he manage that one?

When you are used to just sliding into your old seats, it is a habit you break quickly. And having a hell of a package doesn't help either
