Default Si Seats

i wanted to put ep3 si seats on my 04 coupe .... and was wondering if they bolt right on with the stock sliders or do i need to have the ep3 sliders? also will this need any customisation?

As far as i recall they bolt up straight into three of the EM2 bolt holes and you have to drill out the 4th.

^yep, one hole has to be made a little larger, you'll know what we're talking about once you get to that point.

1) youll need to drill like everyone said
2) youll need to use the stock belt clips off your EM2 seat
3) make sure you unplug your battery before unplugging anything under your seat. It'll save you the hassle of turning of your SRS light

even if you swap rails i think they still won't match up. the SI seats are wider. The rails angle out just a little bit. all the bolts matched up except the front outside bolts next to the door.... not sure how the back bolt lined up but not the front.

I swaped the seat rails and brackets from the EM2 to the EP3 seats and every hole lined up. I even did a DIY thread on it.

Here's my link
