Default ep3 Si seats in an EK

have anyone done this? I know theres mods but how do you actually do it? can you also swap the stock ek rails with the ep rails? which is easier?

theres other threads that i have read also where the only safe way to do this is to have ek rails/sliders welded to the ep3 seats. hope this helps

No, hence why you would have to have custom brackets/rails made.

They could put fire proof material around the area they are welding. That will prevent the seat from catching fire.
