Question Recaro SRD Seats in an FD

Are there any FD's out there with Recaro SRD seats installed? I have a set but they seem a little wide, i will try and put them in but just wanted to see if there was anyone else...possibly some info would help as well.

Are your seats adjustable (back and forth)? That's the one thing i'd be concerned about, since getting into those 1-piece seats (and out) is a major pain if you can't slide it

Info.

You can buy any slider and make the mounting brackets, try the Sparco sliders they are nice. As far as fit I know the Japanese RX-7 have recaro's stock. The SRD seats are adjustable and the reclining **** will only fit on the inside facing the tranny. But it is pretty tight.

I have a pirs of SRD but I cannot find the Reacro slider for FD. Some ppl said SRD won't fit for FD. However, I am sure I read some japanese magazine and saw a SRD in FD. Anyone know????

SRD's will fit, as someone already noted, but you do need additional sliders (or mod the stock ones) and you also need to remove the seatback adjuster from the outside part of the SRD, as the door will not close with both installed.
