don't do it

 

why do you say that?

 

the seats are old and ugly

 

they are actually in really good shape and look better then EJ8 seats which dont hold you in a turn.

 

bump, anybody know how?

 

swap ur seat rails onto the DA seats

That. Or, get some DC2 LS seats. They look more or less the same and will bolt in no problem.

sorry but its not really that easy, the rails are no where near the same, nor do they bolt into the same places. unless im completely missing something...

Again, is there any chance you can get LS seats out of a 94-01?

 

not unless i go looking i already bought these, i was told i would just need to swap the door side rail but it isnt so. i thought the DC seats only bolted into Egs?

To my understanding, it's the backseat that doesn't line up. I could be wrong.

 

the 4 brackets are all close to lining up so might just have a friend weld them to the floorboard...dont know yet though, or cut the brackets off the EK rails and weld them to the DA rails

I would vote against welding the seats to the floor. It would be a huge pain in the *** to remove them.

 

would there be any issues with removing the brackets and welding the brackets to the rails?

 

take the rail off your ek seat and bolt up to your da seat will have to do that with dc eg and even del sol seats to fit and ek, trust me i have had to do it, one side never lines up unless you use your ek rail

Safety. Think about it, you're 'stacking' seat rails, just imagine what would happen if you get into a high impact collision.

 

and trust me the rails dont bolt to the seat pan in the same spots

In my opinion, this sounds like way too much of a hassle overall. I would recommend selling the seats and finding out what seats for sure will work with your chassi.

 

i was thinking about that too maybe, remove the factory rivets and weld the brackets on then run a bolt through the middle with a nut on the backside in place of the rivet

If you ever sell the car, it will be a hassle for the next buyer. I suggest not modifying your chassi just for DA seats; that doesn't seem worth it.

 

yea, expletive it

Good call. I'm not saying that it couldn't be done well, but seems like too much work just for DA seats.

 

couldnt you just swap the seat pans?
