Don't you have to bolt those seats to your stock rails and aren't the seat belt buckles on the rails? Correct me if I'm wrong.

where did you buy the seats?
did you buy any rails/sliders?

there is always a way to get seats to fit, whether it be modifying the stock brackets or drilling new holes...

also, i have no ****** idea what rukawa1one is trying to say

You don't just buy sliders, you have to buy an actual seat mount or bracket. There's an a L bend thats welded to the bracket, with a hole it in. You mount your stock seat belt anchor to that hole.

it looks like those seats come with sliders, so all u need is the floor bracket specific to your vehicle. U can get sparco bracket, they will work. Or u can get some no name brand on ebay or something.

I don't know how that company sells their seats, but with most name brand seats, you need sliders if you want the seat to move back and forth, and you need a base plate to mount the sliders to, so you can bolt it to the car.

Here's my Sparco prototype bracket. The sliders mounted to this piece




It's hard to see in this pic, but at the bottom, there's an L bracket that holds the stock seat belt anchor.

From the pic u gave us, the seat had the sliders already bolted on. U need these now to bolt onto the sliders and onto the floor. see the bracket for the seatbelt as well? This is from ebay. search under "civic seat bracket"

The actual bracket is different, but you'd search the same way for Del Sol brackets. They'll look exactly like the ones pictured above, but the floor mount holes will be a little different for a Del Sol.
Or if you want to purchase a quality seat bracket, you can look toward Sparco, Reacaro, OMP, etc.

I bet you can rig something up. I personally would never risk it, but I'm sure it's been done before.
