not 100% sure if they will fit. You would be able to get them to fit if you got an engineer or someone similar to install them, may just need custom rails.

I'm looking at getting some seats as well But I might just get 1 real good seat.

Anyways good luck.

If you wanna pay 400 bucks for uncomfortable seats, go for it. I hate race seats :rant: Uncomfy.

Hey brother, do you find them comfortable? a mate had a 05 rex too, and after sitting in them for about an hour and half, my ass fell asleep, they were not very cushiony! :cool:

Yeah , when you going real fast around stuff, definately good, but how often do you speed around corners when you drive? Well thats speculative lol But I generally try to be a safe driver around the Uni round abouts :D Dun need to be 'held' in, just go with the flow hehe

well im gettin some racing/sports seats but i gots a prob, the bolt holes on the base of the seats are 295mm apart (center to center), but the bolt holes on the stock seats are 310mm+ apart, how would i go about making a bracket to fit these in?

cheers

did the seats come with rails? if it did, you'll need to fabricate an adaptor for it. youve got two options, make the adaptor to fit the stock rails, or try and modify the new rails to fit into the oem holes. or you can try and find a cheap fabricating mob to knock you up some rails.
