    BASE Toyota Corolla 93-02L
    Base Adapter
    Seat Track set Flat
    Price will be $145"

    Dont be fooled because it says COROLLA in the title...they are universal, and will need some sort of fabrication.

    there are brackets by Corbreau and i think Sparco makes it too for the 93-02 Corolla. But those brackets supposedly only fit their seats, im sure u can somehow get those to work wit other seats, or you can just get custom brackets welded. I paid $200 for installation and brackets for my seats so i think thats pretty much average price.

    negative. you'll either need to get a bracket or make your own.

    you'd still need a new bracket for celica seats. both Vamp and i did that swap, and we have custom brackets made. his are significantly more involved(lots more welding) than mine, but both work.

    mine involved no welding, just bending metal.


    someone else around here - i don't recall whom - used basic aluminum strapstock cut to the proper length, and attached the seat to that, then that strapstock to the seat...it appeared fairly sturdy, and that's probably the easiest option. you'd still have to drill holes in the aluminum, though.

    Mine involved removing the brackets off my stock seats, welding two pieces of steel across to make a frame, then welding the Celica seat brackets to that.
