I know you will need a bracket... I havent tried to put any in, but I have sat in an FD and I have sat in a FC, the brackets didnt look the same...

I haven't sat in a FD , but from what i have seen of the fd's seats i know you would sit in a slightly different position. If anyone has put FD seats in a FC can you please tell me what you did to get them in ?

Just go to home depot, buy some aluminum, and bolt the FD seats to your stock bracket...

i have sat in a fc w/ fd seats and i was not impressed. The seats are designed for a specific floorplan and will be somewhat uncomfortable. YOur best bet is to take a pair of base model seats (cloth) and have them re-skinned in leather. Thats what i did and those are the best seats i have ever sat in in any fc! I paid the same money too. JUst a thought. But in all actuality, the fc seats are good if they are in good shape inside and out.
