Be nice to have a list of cars that folks have found seats in that work well in a Festiva with a little work.

I have a sparco that i have mounted in my B8-ME...i used a bracket kit from a civic 96-98 or whenever the crossover year was

I was going to do that but the seats sat too high. So Im going to make customs to get them a little lower.

just make brackets from the stock holes to the seats tracks. no problem (if you can weld). i've got leather power/heated seats in my car.

Myself. Im going to have to make custom brackets to install the power seats in Crusher. I already have all the old mounts cut out.

I've seen and read a lot of th threads on this forum about fitting aftermarket seats to festivas, but im interested to knwo how YOU went about it. Did you use the rails that came with the seats and then fabricated up different mounting points so it bolted up to where the oem festiva seats were? OR did you hack up your oem seat, take the rails/weld up some brackets, and attach them to the new seats?

Just trying to figure out the easiest way to do it, whilst being able to mount the seat as low as possible. ANy idea/input would be appreciated!
