Just build them yourself like I did. Do you have basic welding ability?
Remove the seats from the rails by cutting the metal with a sawzaw.
Take the cement post / rebar its about 1/8"-1/4" thick drill the holes mount it to your seats then use JB weld to temporarly tack it on place on the frame center weld cut the excess bar off mount seats done!
If you use rebar you will notice the brackets are stronger and thicker then OEM the car will come apart before these brackets ever do!
PS: The tricky side to do is the driverside because it does not have a mechanical slider! you must either use a JDM left side seat rail or use another passenger side seat rail!
if you use the passenger side seat rail for the driverside you must use the electric seat front left mount because there is a slight stager there! the front left is offset by like 1/2" so mount a standoff plate between the leg or use the electric seat front left mount plate under the rail.

so youre saying basically get a pass side rail, and use it, kinda redneck rig it up? cus im pretty good at that bad as i hate to say it lol, how long it take you to do this? and does anyone know if the ls is a good seat? i mean come on a hundred bucks for a recaro
Pm me your Email I could send you pics of my speaco milanos & seat rails installed! it is nothing complicated and 2 passenger manuel seat rails will work you must stagger the front left mount on the rail for the driverside!
If you dont stagger it and force it to mount the slider will lock in only 1-2 positions at most depending where it was aligned to when welded together.
To get around staggering the front left leg you could always just get a leftside manuel seat rail that comes in the JDM supras(RHD).
The ebay ones always wanted like $400 for a set of rails from turbo R, just buying the spearco sets for 120 each side is cheaper.
or just get (4) 24"x1½x1/8" Rebar stakes weld them in in about ~1hr then call it a day.

i dont understand what you mean to do with the rebar... but i purchased that seat today and it was an elderly man, i knew the seat was guna be kinda rough when i got there but what i found made my jaw hit the floor, the seat was in pretty good shape, but its what it came out of that made me almost lose it, he bought an original cali car mk2 supra and to this day not a scratch on it, literally, not even any dust under the wheel wells, but i know he drives it because it has 214,000 miles on it, and all the mods he had were a hks supermushroom filter, and a header and an exhaust, sorry to get off topic but even my fiancee was like holy crap that car is perfect, what the hell?!?!?!?!?!
anyway, so passenger side rails will work? how do i stagger them? and what do i weld, i dont have actual email, just here, so any pms or posted pics would be fantastic,
oh and did i mention i have two original brochures from 1980 when it was purchased as well as a copy of the original reciept, i mean i got everything he had, its some cool stuff, i dont know if anyone cares but its really neat
