Rear mount bolts have to come out as well, but can be used over. You must elongate the rear mounting holes, in the rear of the track with a round (rat tail) file. The front bolts go in at an angle, so the more spacers you use, the more you have to elongate the rear seat track holes. You will need a special female torx socket, I think #10, to remove the stock mount bolts. This change of seat angle, makes a big difference in thigh support, and comfort

I did the same, except with a 3/8 inch thick black machined spacer. Having the base of the seat tilted up a bit is a much better seating position. I'm 6'2" and have no problems.
