Looks like an Ebay seat. Im not sure how much customer support you will get from them, but I did a search and found the seat. The manufacturer claims that you can get a different set of rails to mount into factory holes. Maybe these do not come with your seats?

Worth looking into before you drill

I hope you are short, because the vast majority of bottom mount seats (like the ebay one you listed) will raise the seat about 2" if you use the sliders, and about 1" or so if you bolt directly to rail.

You can get a rail from wedge engineering (who makes sparco rails) & possibly get them to custom it, or from sparco directly.

These will bolt on to universal sliders. If you ditch the sliders, you have to drill 2 new holes to mount them direct.

I spent so much time doing all this research because I had a set of racing seats too, not worth the trouble - I'm 5'10" w/ 240 coupe + sunroof -> no fun driving, head hits a lot.

Only way is to get a custom rail or get a full bucket seat w/ side mount rails that sit lower than stock.
