Default EP3 seats in a EK sedan

i recently bought 2002 Si seats and i have a 97 ek sedan. the rails dont line up right....and the guy i bought them off of had a ek hatch that they fit in perfectly...i have been messing with them for like 2 hrs now and they wont fit right...i cant even get 3 of the bolts in...i was wondering if i have to cut my rails and reweld them or if im jsut not doing it right any suggestions?

You sure he had them in his hatch? Don't tighten all the bolts until everything is lined up.

its not possible he had it all lined up in an EK
i had ep3 seats
the rails need to be modified...
Cut and re welded for a bigger hole so they are close to the original holes in your frame

If he told u they fit he/ she lied

Also EP3 seats sit VERY VERY high in an EK
Just a forewarning before you spend lots of money modifying the rails and fitting them
I used to have them but got rid of them in a month
Better off selling them to someone with an EM (direct bolt in)

if your able to fab your own rails for the ep3 seats then those will look great. they do sit high but if you set the mounting points on the rail real low, then they sit about stock height.
