i think those are the ones i probalby have, i constructed new brackets.

so no, they won't fit. The holes are wider than even the power seat adapter

How's the quality? I'm looking at those eBay seats too, but I've been too scared the quality will be poor... Since my car will actually see more track time than anything.

Ya, I actually was thinking about getting a similar product but wondered about fitment also...I'm interested in how easy of a fit they are.

Chris, how have yours held up? I oscillate on Summit seats versus cloth (kinda like what you have). We both live in hot climates and things like vinyl seat covers dont hold up for poop in the temps here.

Also, those look like they dont have a ton of bolstering - I'm a big guy. I wonder about the Summit seats in that regard.

Guero, could you do me a big favor? Could you weigh those seats before you install them?

The stock seats, even cloth, are some HEAVY mother****ers...

You can buy the same stuff as dynomax at Home Depot by the roll way cheaper than shops. I really wouldn't bother but if you want a quiet car go for it the front seats will already be out and the rear seat just pull's out on those cars (well the bottom rear seat)

Its in the roofing section by all the gutter stuff. It has a shiny aluminum backing....just go looking and u'll find it.

BUT its not the same as the other stuff, there was a site that explained them all pretty well. I got some...put it in but havent got to see if it made any difference. And now looking back, by the time i got enough to do the whole floor i might as well have got the "name brand" stuff that is meant to do that.

Oh and dont dynomat it...thats a rip off IMO. Search on here and corral for sound insulation and u'll find that website and plenty of threads.

I have no carpet or sound insulation in my car. I LIKE the noise, I hate the fact that the floor heats up by the exhaust and warms up the cabin on long trips.
