? about some seats.

I have some mess up seats in my car and I want to get some new ones. I want to know if those kinds of seats are good and how hard would it be to put them in. Would I need to buy anything else to get them to fit in the car? The seats

There's 2 threads you need to fully read.

1st one......

"Anybody seen/tried/own a pair of cheap Ebay racing seats?"
https://www.thirdgen.org/techbb2/sho...hreadid=277118

This was after I ordered mine from Ebay, but before I got them. In that thread I talk about making the seat brackets, and say something about welding.... No welding needed, heck not even any drilling. Just some cutting of some steel flat bar

second one......

"Cheap ebay race seats in car.... Mounts, install info, and pics here!!!!"
https://www.thirdgen.org/techbb2/sho...hreadid=283339

In this thread is after I got the seats, and started the mounts. I used the stock camaro sliders and fitted them to the sport seats. It shows how I done it, tells all the parts needed, etc. Only like $15 to make the brackets..



I researched all the cheaper sport/race seats, and found alot of info . I don't want to type it all again, but it's in those two threads.

The APC seats MAY work, but look at the side tilter. There's one on each side. Thats not good IMO. It's also a ****.. That's not good IMO. There's very little room between the consol and outer seat belt. With that style tilter you may end up hitting the consol or seat belt. Plus close to $75 higher than ones I know will work

I found some on ebay (not a one time thing, he carrys them all the time) that has 1 titler per seat, on the outside, it's a handle, not a ****.

I bought them, and installed them.

For info on the diff sellers, seat sizes, etc see the 1st thread "cheap ebay seats"

and for how I mounted mine and pics of mounting and installed see second thread "cheap ebay seats installed..pics... info, mounts"

I have nothing but good things to say about the ones I bought. Putting them in the car was easy. The fit is great. The seats them selfs are good
