Seat Measurements

Does anyone know the measurements of a 1988 TII AE seat? The leather seats are really nice and I have all the original parts so I don't want to wear down the driver side seat. I hope I can get a Corbeau Forza seat to fit in....if not
Thanks

Actually there are several aftermarket seats that are "bolt-ins"

but if you're buying the brackets, what is there to worry about?? are you concerned the brackets won't fit in right?

Name one...

Not even real Mazdaspeed seats (not the ebay ones) don't fit without some sort of special or custom mounting bracket onto the stock slides.

Okay, here's a question just for fun =P

I have bucket seats in my 7 right now (APC), if I wanted to change them for whatever reason, would they require new/custom mounting/brackets, or would the new seats likely fit onto the brackets that work for my current seats?

Most of the cheap aftermarket seats from Hong Kong/China/Japan (like APC/Matrix/ etx) use the same location mounting holes on the bottom of the seats.
