I have a set of RX8 seats that I am going to put in my RX3. I will need to do some fab work and will gut out the electric BS that make them heavy. It is quite do-able , end result will be a good supportive seat with rotors in the headrest !

Good. It is probably best to find the manual seats. Not sure about leather or cloth. Also like the old school recaro fishnets.

I have the rx8 seats. What fab work is necessary and can I buy seat mounting brackets that fit right in?
