How long and hard is the installation process?

The brackets are easily installed with simple tools. They have been meticulously engineered to fit your car perfectly.

Why would I want to extend my seats?

If you are over 5"10 and have ever owned a car, you know how miserable it is to drive any farther than 20 minutes. Your legs are cramped, you knees are pushed up to the dashboard and you are not happy. Extending your seat makes driving more ergonomic and enjoyable. If you are in question; lay your seat all the way down, get into a comfortable position and see how much farther your body wants to sit in the car. I guarantee you want to be at least 2-4 inches farther back!
