Default Installing Aftermarket seats

Thinking about getting some Corbeau GTS II's in a few months as my stock seats are getting worn out and squeek

What all is involved in getting the seats in? Can the stock rails be used since I have power seats currently? Are these seats going to sit up higher than stock seats?

Thanks!

It all depends on what seats you get and what kind of mount they come with. Im running a set of MOMOs and they have side mounts. All I had to do was create an "L" shaped bracket from sheet metal to connect them to the stock sliders. If they are bottom mounts you might be able to get away with just drilling new holes into the sliders so that they match up. Either way, I say get them cause you will find a way to mount them. They might take a little thinking to get them to fit the stock sliders but in the end its going to be worth it. BTW Im selling my momo/harness combo if your interested. I can get you plenty of pictures. Also got a 6 point roll bar.
