Chad's adapters make this step unnecessary! Right Chad??

Actually, even with these plates, the drivers side is off center by an inch or two. Moving it to center slides the seat off the frame. I don't mind so much it being off center, sort of feels right to me.

I also needed to put some washers under each seat so the factory sliders didn't hit when used. They work flawlessly now. I took my time drilling out all the welds holding on all the mounting brackets instead of just cutting them off.

I would love the newer R3 Rx8 seats, but don't think they would be worth it.

Could buy nicer racing seats for less.

I like RotaryRevns black and grey cloth? ones on post 33!!!

$300 for the pair and $130 to ship wasn't bad. Kept an eye on Ebay for awhile. Cloth ones are going for about that same price now and then. I'm trying to locate a vinyl dye that matches that same brown to do a little work on the back. Will post if I find one that looks good.
