Default installation of jdm front seats...........

well, its unfrotunate to mention that my 91 civic si was stolen this past january while i was away for dental school.
everything was completely taken away from me...interior, rims, my builit b18c1 motor, tein suspension, ssr, control arms, hood, interior panels, alpine deck- 2 L7 w/ amp, etc, etc.....
suckas! anyways...
here's my dilemma...
i just picked up a set of jdm front and rear seats for my car, however am not sure which rails i need to use or if i need to replace the whole seat pan.
this situation blows since i have no original si seats to use rails from...
does anybody know the exact setup of rails i need so the seats line up as tho' they were oem....
please, any information would be beneficial...thanks again!

You cant just swap the rails. The JDM seats will not fit into a 90-91 hatch unless you swap the seat pans. I have a 91 Si and I had to swap the seats pans. When it was done you cant even tell but I must say its a pain in the *** to swap the pans. Its not very hard just time consuming. You have to swap pans because the 90-91 hatches have the seatbelts connected to the seat and the JDM ones dont. The JDM seats only bolt up to the 88-89 model. So you need to go get some 90-91 seats pans and go to work!
