i bought some from a forum member a while back. the "adapters" were VERY shabbily made.
i LOVE the FD seats though. ill eventually get all new adapters made for them. i dont think itd be hard.
what i plan to do is:
get a set of FC set rails and sliders ---done
take them, the seats, and the car to a machine shop and tell them to work their magic -----ill get to it eventually
DONE

DAMN! That is WAY loose. I don't see how it would be that bad to make new brackets to hold the FD seats strongly. Where is the slop in the design of that kit you bought?

im not 100% sure. i think the builder tried to mix and match FD and FB sliders and it caused the problem. the gap for the slider to slide in was WAY too big for the sliders. thats why it rocked like that. thats why id go with using full FC sliders. theyre a bit sturdier than FB ones anyways, IIRC.
