Thanks. I don't do alot of "dirty offroading"...yet. Mostly firewood hunting and camping on some trails where less 4wheelers can go. I use it as my DD so I have to keep it fairly clean and presentable. I travel to many schools for work and don't want to look too much like the mountain man I am. LOL

I did the work of searching to replace the torn up bench seat and thought of putting the suspension seats, but they are over $500! My brother has a wrecked '96 Eclipse sitting right next to my project Toyota so I'm going to try to see if it works. My question for those of you who have actually done a seat swap, when you drill a hole what do you do/use? I was thinking of a bolt with a washer on the floor and another washer underneath the floor and bolting it. Or do you guys use well nuts instead of bolts?

i used s10 blazer buckets, they recline and the brackets on the bottom fit perfectly in my 88, just had to drill holes for bolts... i should've used s10 pickup seats so they fold forward so i could get behind the seat but they're better than my worn out bench seat

if you think about it, you arent putting that much stress on the bolts themselves, just the sheet metal for the floor, so washers are a must...

the new seats, neither has any tears and are pretty mint for being nearly 20 years old. The passenger seat has the pretty standard recline & slide and also headrest height/tilt, but the driver side also has electric lateral and lumbar adjust along with seat bottom angle adjustments. The car I got them out of rhymes with 1st gen Cellica AllTrac Turbo (I felt so bad for that car . . . it was in good shape and I hated to tear it apart, but it looked like someone already took a ball-peen to the turbo)
The seat itself sits just a hair lower, but that's OK to me. I've since gotten the driver side in also, just too lazy to take a pic - and yes the passenger seat slides forward far enough to get in the back.
Here's the adjustment switch I have to find a home for (next to rear window defog, I think). Looking at it installed in the car, there are only 2 wires that don't just run between the seat and the switch- whick means it should be a simple hookup with just a power and a ground.
These seats are real nice, now it feels like I'm riding in a sports car (except for my spine being compressed every time I run over a speed bump too fast from the 20 yr old springs out back).

I've had a set of blue acura integra seats in for a couple years now....
There is a center console in there now. I just recently picked up a set of blue honda del sol seats
What do you guys think I should do? Am I just bored with the integra seats or are the del sol seats really that much better?
