just take the passenger side out, its two bolts in the back then rotate towards the dash and take out the sensor(s) and it will pop out...if it looks the same then yes
if not you can try bolting up your current seat slider thing to the new seat?

np, i understand how that goes!!! cause even if you had to spend some dough on custom fab to get it to work it would still be cheaper....i cant pass up a good deal either even if i dont have the money :P
let me know how it goes or if you need anything. i have an extra set of base seats i could pull the brackets off if need be and chuck the seat part (old and dirty and replaced lol)
would sell cheap plus shipping

Funny how you put in the first post that they are USED seat out of a Cav. and then your next post says their brand new??? thats kinda wierd... I didn't know that brand new seats came out of used cars haha. But enjoy them in your LT

why are you all hating on the base model??? just cause its an lt doesnt mean it doesnt have the "power to need them" what if he auto x's???? tight courses arent all about power then about handeling...
and just cause its a 2.2 doesnt mean no power...
so unless you have soemthing constructive to say...then go back to your "macho" 2.o section and play with yourself

No need for them but they definitely help....problem is the FX seats are garbage.

well..in stating that its pointless to put them in the base model...but that it would be ok for others...you are hating on the base model, just cause you bought power from the factory instead of building it yourself doesnt make yours better

What the ****.. Maybe the guy wants some seats that are comfortable and also look better than the shitty ass seats that GM provides us base models..

You guys are all tools for bashing the guy for wanting to put seats in his car.

This site is getting pathetic..

I hope you can find someone who will get off thier high horse and help you bud.. Sorry.. I just dont have an answer for you

i can agree with your comment about the comfort level and looking better..i just assume if someone buys racing seats they will be racing...but ill also assume that $150 racing seats will neither be comfortable or great looking especially after being used.....they fade like a ****

props for doing something different..

but hell you can get sparco R100's for a decent price.. brand new..and i bet they'll be alot better then that ..

hell there are certain 3a racing seats are actually supposed to be decent.. but then again you wont be getting them for 150 a pair lol

you should be able to retrofit the sliders.. if not new brackets from sparco or someplace is like 50 bux each
