Default 88 civic racing seat installation

i would like to install my racing seats to my original seat brackets and sliders, but the seats are 2 inches too wide for the mounts in the car, so what is the best/safest way to make these seats fit?

no, just drill the appropriate holes to make it match up.

ive done it before.

and dont ask for anymore information. just measure and drill and think. if THATS too much, then just buy an aftermarket slider thats compatible.

well im glad you made it out alright, but when i first bought my camaro from the guy who wrecked it "drifting", the impact made the two rear mounting tabs ripped out of place and sent the guy head first into the windshield..

just saying, you never know what can happen....to each his own
