Pretty sure you're going to have fab something up. Try it and let us know. Take pictures along the way.

They bolt right up. I have them. Best investment for DD cars, for sure. Excellent support and incredibly comfortable.

THEY DON'T FIT!!

It is impossible. No one has ever done it before.

Do not attempt this.

Trying to search for this topic will lead you no where!

Why are you asking if you "KNOW" they don't fit??

Obviously you don't know, or else you wouldn't have asked this question.

They are direct bolt on. I've seen them personally in s13 and they are super nice. Owner said fabric has some issues with breathing, so your back might get sweaty a little.

I have s15 cloth seats in my s14, direct bolt on. So it will bolt into a s13 chassis. Great upgrade for comfortable daily driving.

Yeh after sitting for a while, my back does get sweaty as well. Good thing for a/c.

and the 09 dodge caravans have very similar cloth seats/materials as well.but those dont fit of course.

Actually, I had this experience when I picked up a pair of s14 seats. A guy had two pairs of s14 front seats and mounting brackets were slightly different. You have to bend the bracket to fit on one of them. I thought all brackets were same too. I think there's a difference between base model s14 and others or something like that.

I run s15 seats in an s13, when installing them that all pretty much line up perfectly but the fronts have to bend slightly all you gotta do is bang it down with a hammer it'll fit flush!

Yes, that was the case with s14 seats. A guy had two pairs, so I bought the pair with correct brackets. Seats were in better shape anyway. When you bend you will have to bend about 30-40 degrees using a hammer.

I have leather s15's in my convertible- best investment I ever made. Not sure if was only issue in convertible, but keep your old seat belt fastenrs to attach to seat, different size wont take s13 seat belt. Otherwise perfect fit.
