Default Need help with my recaros

Ok I have a 98 Integra and I just purchased a set of recaros out of an Evo 8 . My problem is everyone said I need to find a jdm seat rail and bracket but I have called sparco and emailed recaro and they are idiots and don't know anything about the seat I'm talking about. So ht I need your help to find where I can get these brackets and rails to make these seats work

Any DC2 recaro rails should work.

Take the rails off of the OEM seats, and put them on the Recaro's.

incorrect.

the bottom seat pan was not made by Recaro. it was made by Mitsubishi for their cars. You have to physically hack off metal in order to fit a set of Recaro tab sliders and mate it with a seat bracket. I went with Wedge Engineering.

Learn something new everyday.

I just assumed since they're Recaros, it used the usual Recaro bolt pattern.
