I finally got new seats for my fox body, picked up these seats for 100 off Craigslist. They were not bad to put in. I took the stock fox brackets welded a 1/2" spacer on the tracks, made a template of the stock bolt hole placement, transferred to the new seats, drilled holes and bolted them in. Took about 2 hours to do both sides. I didn't have time to do a full write up. here is the end result

They are far more comfortable than the stock fox seats, mine had the gangsta lean bad. People in this area want an obscene amount of money for 1995+ seats. also the seat sits much lower than the stock seat, so this mod might be good for taller guys
