Silver,

Here's the link (if it's ok) http://www.shophyperformance.com/sto...ml?id=yp2RczLe
Took alot of work to get em right, had to completely remove factory seats and frames, disable air bags, built a new frame with sparco seat base (modified) and used part of the stock frame then I made custom enclosures to clean it all up. Took a full day to get everything just right, but it was worth the effort. I get lots of positive feedback from everyone. Total investment approx. $475.

Can anyone give me some detailed instructions as how to fab up a seat bracket? It doesn't have to be pretty, just functional. I don't think I should have to mess with the air bags because in 2000 they were just on or off, not pressure or occupant sensitive. I think I am going to get the second link I provided. They look pretty good and are a good price.

Thanks
-David

Not for nothing but both of those sellers have horrible feed back.

How much do those seats weight? They don't look much lighter than a factory seat. Racing seats don't usually recline... Or for that matter they usually don't have sliders.

And make sure you mount them correctly you really don't want the seat to break free in an accident.

Yea I know that they will not weigh something like twenty pounds but I'm sure they will weigh somewhat less that factory electric leather but I will keep looking. Thanks for the info Josh, when it comes to feedback, what is a good level?
