Having a proper racing seat in a car that makes as much power and has as much grip as a Corvette is essential. A proper racing seat also needs to be mounted as low as possible to accommodate a helmeted driver and to keep the center of gravity as low as possible.

AMT Motorsport has a solution in its Ultralow Seat Mount kit. Applicable for every generation from C5 to C8, the Ultralow Seat Mount comes with all the hardware and fasteners necessary for installation to the factory studs.

Many hours of development were spent making the Ultralow mount the best available for the Corvette. The only way to get your seat lower in the car would be to cut a hole in it. The bottom of the seat can literally touch the floor in your Corvette. AMT Motorsport achieved this by machining a perfect hex in the mounts to accept the mounting bolts for the side brackets. A flat head screw would allow the same clearance, but by machining the hex into the aluminum AMT also removed the need for an extra wrench (and a whole lot of headache) from the installation process.

The mounts are fully machined from 6061-T6 extruded aluminum angle and flat plate for the brackets. Rather than allowing the side brackets to only sit on bolts, AMT machined the brackets so there is a perfect mechanical interface with the bottom and side of the floor mounts. This increases stiffness and strength.

AMT Motorsport also offers an optional, integral, movable cross bar to accept five- and six-point sub-belts. Two eye-bolts are included with the sub bar. The sub bar is bolted to the floor mounts with flat head screws, and there are two more holes in the cross bar to allow you to bolt the bar right through the floor, should your sanctioning body require it.

It is not recommended to use a different sub-belt bar with the AMT mount since you’ll need to modify either the mount or the sub-belt bar to get it to fit. If you’re ordering this mount without a sub-belt bar, then you should just be mounting your eyebolts right through the floor. Retail price is $470 at time of publication.
