If my knowledge serves me right, all FC3S seats are compatible with each other. Why change the seat rails for the same car design? Just change the shape of the seat.

I have a 90/91 seat in my 86. No modification rqd.

You will need to slide the rails as far forward and as far back as they will go to get to them, but they aren't difficult.

Just kind of confused why you haven't looked at the bottom of your seats <.<

4 bolts holding the rail to the chassis.

4 bolts holding the rail to the seat.

16 bolts. 1 challenge.

Are you a bad enough dude to rescue the President?
