Best way to Mount mazdaspeed seats?

Hey guys I bought some mazdaspeed seats I wanted to know the best way to mount them to the car?

From what I understand the stock mazda rails wont work right? So whats the best way to mount these and still keeping the sliders.


Here are the seats.


Thanks

I don’t want to burst your bubble, but those don't look like any mazdaspeed seats I have ever scene. If you don't mind be asking where did you get them?
These are the only aftermarket mazdaspeed seats that I know of

I agree. I could be wrong, but I've NEVER seen those "Mazdaspeed" seats.
Looks like a fake to me.

The upper bolster areas are HUGE for an authentic Mazdaspeed racing seat.
The fabric...not sure as the photo is deceiving...the fabric has a slight sheen to it. Like it is
made from a nylon/rayon fabric.

And to directly answer your question...my ASSUMPTION is authentic Mazdaspeed seats should have a proper seat rail to adapt the seat to the FD. You may want to consider custom modifying your seats to retain the stock slide mechanism.

I feel like I've seen those on ebay... And I don't think they are real Mazdaspeed.

Yup, those are the ebay mazdaspeed seats, not authentic.

Back on topic, you would have to fabricate your stock rail to work with those seats.

No **** man! I wouldn't want to sit in that seat after seeing that. Looks like someone was sitting in that seat naked in the middle of summer with the windows up and the heat on!

They don't. Mazdaspeed makes special mounting brackets and come with rails attached.


LasVegasGS: I have genuine Mazdaspeed mounts for FC if you need them. They won't be bolt on since those are fake but you can probably rig something.
