Default gangsta lean?

Is it normal for both of my front seats to have a lean to them even when the seat is adjusted all the way up?
Instead of being like this: l theyre like this: \.

Mine were leaning like that, turned out my floor pans where crack pretty bad around my rear seat bolts, mostly the back left of the driver seat and back right on the passenger side. Welded all the cracks up, cut some plates to reinforce the rear seat bolts and welded in MM sub-frame connectors with seat braces, no more gansta lean.

Mine arent a problem where they mount- its the seats themselves.
The bottom of the seats are level and dont move or lean.
There seems to be alot of play in the seatbacks.

this is interesting about the sn-95 seats. the little switch to pull the seat backing forward so someone can get in the back doesn't work on my car, meaning it doesn't click. i can just grab the seat and pull it up, and then drop it back.
the sn-95are way more comfortable. does the seatbeat match up though??? how much do they usually run???

when i'm talking about putting them on, for example, the fox seats are held on the sliding rack by 4 bolts, so i'm guessing its the same install.
