T2 seats in FB

Got my T2 seats in today even though I'm way behind on my project (not due to the seats, but because of work)... I plan on getting them in this weekend along w/ some other stuff.

My question is though, to put T2 seats into a GSL-SE.. which sliders do you use, FB ones or FC ones? I'd assume FB. I have both sets of sliders laying around, but since the car is not at my house, I dont want to bring the wrong ones...

Thanks!

Here's a pic of the seats...

Oh, and I weighed them at 27lbs each w/out sliders. For comparison, I weighed a stock SE FC seat and it was 34lbs w/ sliders so to my surprise, the SE and T2 seats basically weigh the same assuming the sliders make up the 7 lbs difference.

Bolt the fb sliders to the bottom of the fc seats.

i hear you can use the fc ones if you make a notch out one of the holes one the passenger seat, and the fc ones have dual locking rails instead of just one

That's the route I went, using the FC rails. Except I only had to notch one hole on the drivers seat.

I'll probably use the FB ones - seems simpler and I like the idea of the dual lock slider opposed to just one...

your gonna love them!!! i just purchased my 83' rx7 with the tII buckets in them. they feel great when whipping it around corners. no sliding in the seats means better control of the car
