There isn't a magic combination of seat rail thats going to make these bolt in.You're looking at some custom work. There are a couple schools of thought for pulling it off...

I prefer mounting the EF seat rails to the SRD bottoms. While the EF rails are still on the EF seat, mount it on a 2x4 square frame. The rail position/mounting holes are now locked into the proper position. Remove the EF seat and take your EF rails over to the SRD seat bottom.
Now be creative...use any combination of drilling, bolting and welding to make the EF rails stick to the bottom on the SRD seats. Once the EF rails are securely attached to the SRD seat, remove the 2x4 frame. The SRD seat/EF rails should mount to the EF floor pan.

If someone suggests switching actual seat bottoms, greet thedm with skepticism. A couple people claim it works, but I looked at it and that wasn't going to work with what I had('98 GS-R seats/90 EF seats)

Sell the EK rails, and buy a proper set of aftermarket rails to mount a Recaro SRD into a G2 CRX with door-mounted seat belts.

i always wonder how people can use their oem seatbelts with aftermarket seats, cause the seat belt latch is a part of the oem seat. do you juts use a race harness instead, or is there someone who makes a bracket to mount the seat and the buckle to?

go to http://www.recaro.com and look up what sliders you need to fit your particular seat into your particular car. then go to the "find a dealer" button and find a dealer near you that sells the particular sliders for the particular car that you wish to put the seats in. then buy them and put them in your car.

isnt using a ghetto fab'd EF rail a big risk on the street, say if you're in an accident? I always think about this when people buy knockoff seats... i'd be scared to test the "quality" of the seat if an accident ever did occur.
