You need vehicle specific sliders ordered with your seats for this. OR you will have to cut & weld the seats to the OEM sliders. OR you can drill holes in the floor & just bolt in the new seats (but no sliding here).
Sorry, there is no seat I am aware of that comes ready to bolt in but OEM seats. ALL after-market seats that I know of will need custom sliders (ordered or made). That's why aftermarket seats are "universal" fit, you order the vehicle specific sliders. But, you might want to measure your new seats to make sure they are NOT too BIG/WIDE to fit in your MR2.

Unless you're using a harness and at least a roll bar do NOT install racing buckets into your car. It's a move that promotes you to candidacy for darwinistic de-selection.
Unless your car is built to NOT crush the seat absolutely has to be able to break backwards and allow you to move side to side. On top of that, do not put seat harnesses in a car without at least a roll bar because if you have a roll over accident the roof will crush down and break your neck. Your seat and your seat belts are of course very important components of your car's safety equipment. You have to keep that in mind when changing out those pieces so you don't compromise the car's ability to not kill you in an accident. Last edited by Gairloch; 08-03-2008 at 06:49 PM.. |
