I have decided to buy these seats for my new S13. They are cheap, and better than the torn up seats that are in there now. My question is, does anyone have any experience with the seal rails it comes with? I purchased seats off of here many years ago, and they came with similar seat rails that I had no idea how they would work. I ended up getting some nice seat rails from japan that cost more than I paid for the seats.

Has anyone dealt with rails like this?

a friend of mine put "racing seats" from ebay into his old camry (lol). He ended up buying seat rails exactly like that and they worked, but like badbob said they sit a little high. Even in my friends camry the seats felt oddly high up... The seats might not even fit in the car with those rails.

Thanks guys. I have most my money tied up in my coupe. I didn't want to spend too much money on my hatch. These were a cheap solution to an annoyance I have. S14 seats are ok, but I wanted more lateral support. My coupe is my drift car, but I want this around and workable if that one gets wrecked or blows up. S14, S15 and Z33 seats don't have enough lateral support. I don't want to sit high either...

Thanks for the input guys.
