ok, so it's been a few days(i'm lazy), but i finally got around to putting the pictures on my computer.
here's the seats installed
this is the galant bracket from the inside edge of the seats, the rear mount. had to swap it with the one from the original seat(second picture, installed with bracket)
after that, everything on the inside edge lined up perfectly. the outside edge though, was another story. after much thought, and a few minutes with a jigsaw, they installed just fine :p
but the fact that the mounting bolts sat so close to the edge, made me a little nervous about safety and such. so a quick trip to Partsource, and 1.50$ later, i was less worried.
they still aren't "safe" per say, but they're saf
er.
the seats sit just over an inch higher, and when i installed them, i wasn't too pleased with that. but after driving with them in there for almost a week now, i'm starting to like it.
i also went down to the custom metal place that's making my rear sway bar. the bar looks perfect, though larger than i wanted. i asked him to bend up some 3/4" pipe for it, but forgot to mention inside or outside diameter. so i'll be riding with a 1" OD, 3/4" ID rear sway bar.
poor car'll be a little tail happy like that, but as long as it doesn't roll like a yacht in the corners with it on there, i'll be happy.
