Default Bought a seat got some questions

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...33701

grabbed that on ebay for the driver seat. Real nice, but the question is what kinda kit should i use to bolt this into my civic? rail and slider? or the straight up bolt in brackets?
Any suggestions, past experiences? Im 6 2 200lbs so leg room is key

If you use the slider, headroom may become an issue. I seem to recall others having issues with the boltin "kits". I'm sure they'll fill you in.

If you don't need sliders, my suggestion is to make brakets yourself, or have a fabricator make them for you.

where can a bracket simply be purchased, im fairly handy with machine work, but making a set of nice brackets seems to take more time than its worth...
i agree with sliders and brackets, too much height
also if i go with brackets what is the perferred method for securing the submarine belt to?
