Default s2000 seats in 5th gen accord?

I've searched everywhere online, even accord forums, and I can't find anyone that has tried this. I picked up a pair for pretty cheap, and want to put them in my 96 ex coupe.

my question is, what rails do I use, s2000 or accord? and If I use the s2000 rails, can I modify them without cutting and welding them? the front two bolt holes on the accord rails are at about a 45 degree angle and the s2000's are flat. so is there any way I can just bend them to fit?

any help or if anyone that has done this in their accord can provide any insight/tips on the matter, I'd appreciate it. thanks

i would imagin you would use the accord rails? since you have to bolt patters and what not already on the floor of the car, you might have to make a plate the adapts the bolts from the bottom of the s2k seats to math the accord rails.

im purley speculating here, but it might be worth looking into you should post up some pics of the finished product

Why would you want s2k seats. They sit very low. I dont think it will feel right. But ive seen it done. Seen one accord with it. So i guess it could be done.

thats why i said if he made a square metal "conversion" sheet, that would line up with the holes on the bottom of the seat, and the stock accord rails. that doesnt invlove either welding or cutting, just intuition and will power but who knows he may not be willing to drill either jp
