I read on the Giulia forum about Centerline's seat tilt kit for the Giulia.
I know that my Stelvio does not have a seat tilt adjustment, but I still found myself reaching down trying to adjust it.
The angle of the stock seat with my leg length puts all the weight on my rear end and leaves a gap where my thighs should sit.
I saw people use a combination of washers and bolts to raise up the front of the seat rails and it sounded like a workable solution though not the most clean looking.
Also, the rails have a post the goes into the floor for what I assume would be increased strength for the shearing forces of an impact.
@JoeCab had not been able to test the fitment on the Stelvio yet and offered to let me test fit them.
I took a beautiful drive up to Centerline this morning and met up with Joe for a test fit on the Stelvio.
He was ready for me with the kit and the needed tools.
Short answer, it fits great on the Stelvio driver's and passenger seats.
Here is what comes in the box.
![22541]( "22541")
The stock bolts are T-50 torx head,
The new bolts for the front are 8mm hex.
Slide the seat all the way forward and raise it up . Loosen but don't remove rear bolts.
Slide the seat all the way back.
Remove the front bolts.
The weight of the seat will likely raise the front of the rails.

Fit the adaptor under the rails
![22543]( "22543")
Set both of the adaptors in place before putting the new bolts in.
![22544]( "22544")
Tighten the top bolts
![22545]( "22545")
Slide the seat forward and tighten up front bolts.
Spec for tightening the seat bolts is 30 ft pounds
All done....
![22546]( "22546")
Looks great and noticed a big improvement in comfort for me.
We grabbed another set and tried the passenger side.
It installed just as easy and fit just as cleanly on the passenger side.
Just FYI, here is a shot of the top of the passenger rail showing the stock T-50 head bolt.

Thanks @JoeCab for continually adding great new products and for being just an all around Great guy!
Parting shot of Joe's Giulia, so sweet!
