thanks all!
i would say that they are NOT a direct fit, after i started the install i was not sure that this would ever work.
the orginal camaro seat is 1 peace, back and session are stuck together and then the whole seat is just bolted on the brackets, but the srt seats are much more complicated, the back and session are sepparate parts that are bolted on a big bracket that hold them together, and the sliders are a peace of that bracket.
the bottom bracket is way to big tro fit in the Fbody, the seat is way to high and the bracket is much to wide,
what did was to cut the bracket in half, and sepparate the part that holds the back/session from the sliders, on the passenger side i then bolted and welded the fbody brackets on.
the drivers seat was a little more complicated, i took the Big *** bracket w/ the electric motors and ripped it a part, and cutted the lowest part from it, and then welded it under what was left of the srt brackets. to install the motor i then cut the seat frame to fit them,
they are fully adjustable, back tilts down/forward, the passenger seat goes manually back forward, and the drivers has electric forward/backward movement and the back is manual,
