That's my setup too. Passenger seat in my sons bedroom for now lol
Using the lower connector with the QFP's? Nice option if so.

Yep!

AFAIK the Nogaros are the only aftermarket seat which are approved to be used with the QFPs.

Also has seat specific mounts for the e9X: https://www.bkauto.com/R_9286_Cobra_...s_p/r-9286.htm

Nice setup, did you use the BK mounts? Did you get a lower seating position? My car has a sunroof and my helmet hits it if I want an optimal driving position which is massively annoying.

No I used my existing mount that I had before.

Sparco universal and they fit fine. One thing I did was cut this extra rakey thigh cushion by about 1.5" and they are perfect now.

Sorry didn't answer your question. Yes it did lower my seat position but not any different than the pole position, spg, bride, and spg again set up lol.

Yep. It's just weird that the cam doesn't stay on the sub belt.

if you are using it in 4 point mode, if both side buckles came off, the cam lock would be loose and you'd risk losing it. So they make the one side "permanent" to avoid that. Also, in an emergency exit situation, I could see the cam lock possibly getting in the way if it stayed attached to the sub belt.
