You really have to find a shop that makes custom brackets to go with the seats as the stock ones are not designed to work with aftermarket seats. I have the Sparco Monzas in my SVT Focus with custom seat brackets and I have no problems getting in and out of the car. Now I know it is a lot lower than the ST, however, the shop that did the work do a ton of seat work for 4x4s and I have climbed into some of the work they have done on trucks and again know problems getting in and out. Find a good speed shop if your going this route with aftermarket seats.
