ryan2987 · 07-09-2002, 07:46 PM

i was wondering that myself. Anybody know?

tsibribri · 07-09-2002, 07:55 PM

add me to the wondering i was gonna try to put 2 or even 3 g seats in my 1g

1QWK4 · 07-10-2002, 08:23 AM

I was told some time ago that they don't, hopefully I am wrong.

TKreander · 07-10-2002, 08:35 AM

Of course it fits, every aftermarket seat fits also. You just need the matching rails too.

1QWK4 · 07-10-2002, 09:47 AM

I don't know about that. 2G seats are a bit wider bolting up rails from a 2G won't do it. I don't think its that easy, or most 1G guys/gals would be swapping.

TKreander · 07-10-2002, 10:18 AM

Well, aftermarket seats like Cobra, Momo, Sparco, Recaro, Omp etc. will be just fine for me.

EvolvingGST · 07-10-2002, 04:24 PM

if you are gonna spend the money to do the conversion i say get the aftermarket... and u forgot Bride which is the best seat company :-p

TKreander · 07-11-2002, 09:00 AM

Sorry, but I've never heard of Bride.
Maybe they don't have any dealers in Europe.

Ludachris · 07-11-2002, 09:22 AM

Yeah, I'd love to go aftermarket. I'd like to know for the next time I get asked - and just in case I come across a cheap set of 2G seats. Anyone out there tried it? I need to hear from people who know first hand.

I bought a Japanese seat that didn't make seat rails for the Eclipse and was wondering if anyone knows if the Galant, Mirage, Evo Lancers, etc. seat rails would fit into an Eclipse. Or does anyone know if the seat rails are universal for all kinds of aftermarket seats. Like if you can use Sparco seat rails for Recaros, Tenzo, and other brands.

GST4U2NV · 10-04-2002, 11:21 PM

when i had my seats i just made my own

D33A · 10-05-2002, 08:18 PM

The seat are Bride if that might help. They don't make seat rails for the Eclipse. Or maybe they do and I was misinformed. I want a secure and tight fitting seat rails so if anyone knows of an alternative seating rail that fits the Eclipse that are made by Bride, like if the Evo Lancers, Galant, FTO seat rails fit, that would be great. Thanks.

I am contemplating buying some Tenzo Rally seats for my 90 Laser. Do I need to order the universal brackets and sliders to install them in my car or can I just take out my stockers and mount the Tenzo's? Thanks for the help. Jake

98_silvergs · 11-19-2002, 07:49 PM

I had to buy the brackets and sliders for my car. I tried sacrificing the stock brackets and it just wasnt working right and i ended up throwing the whole seat away cause it was trashed.

Also the Tenzo R brackets dont fit right either, i had to do some cutting and grinding on mine to get them in. But once there in its well worth it, it just sucks to get out of the car with those seats.

Laser0385 · 11-19-2002, 09:18 PM

Do you think it would be any easier installing them into a 1G? Or about the same difficulty? How long did it take you to get both seats out and the new ones in? Thanks. Jake

Merlin Beerens · 11-19-2002, 11:49 PM

I had to get custom brackets for my 1g, no one makes them

DrZiplok · 11-20-2002, 01:32 AM

I bought a set of Corbeau Carrera's for my 1G, since the OE driver's seat is basically dead. Since Corbeau offer brackets, I grabbed a set of them as well.

They're junk. Utter junk. They leave the seat offset outboard about 2", the mounting for the seatbelt fastenings doesn't actually bolt up (you have to grind the metalwork down), the sliders only lock on one side, and on mine at least the mounting holes don't line up with the factory mounting holes in the bodywork.

I went back and forth with Corbeau about this, but the options they offered me (get someone else to fix their brackets, have them do it at my expense) really didn't appeal, and frankly I'm not too enthused about the basic design of their bracket in the first place.

As part of my wrangling with Corbeau, I took a bunch of measurements and I talked to a few folks locally that seemed interested in making up a set of brackets to spec. However, it occurred to me that perhaps someone's been through this before and might have a better idea (or know someone that makes brackets that don't suck quite so hard).

Thanks for any suggestions...

Laser0385 · 11-20-2002, 07:30 AM

How much did the custom brackets set you back?

Airpoppoff · 11-20-2002, 11:39 AM

i know sparco makes brackets for 2g's not 1g's though
