Default mounting aftermarket seats on stock brackets??

I'm in the process of installing some Sparco Corsa's, and I was trying to use the base mounts from the stock itr seats. I remember at the expo Austin had his seats mounted on stock itr mounts/rails. I started to disassemble mine, but thought it would not work. I have the sparco side mounts already, and wanted to mount them to the oem bracket.

has anyone else done this? Sparco does not sell a bolt-in base and slider combo. They sell either a basic bracket for $42,(dc2r only) and a regular base mount for $100(both retail). I'm not concerned about a slider, after reading the writeup on S&M, I see the sliders take away precious headroom. I was just hoping to save a few bucks...

Any help is greatly appreciated!

it can be done, but you detroy the seats
I'd sell the stock seats, or keep them to the side

and buy the proper base

yeah, the last thing I want to do is destroy the oem's... If I had to, I could get some brackets from the junkyard....

to clarify, do you destroy the seat or the bracket?
