The bottom seat has a 10mm bolt that holds it in. It is located between the bottom and back nearer to the driver's side, but in the center (at least on the 5th gens). Put your hand between the seat and feel around for the bolt. Remove that bolt and then the bottom pulls up and toward the front of the car, you should be able to figure out how to get the bottom out from there.

The back is held on by 2 bolts, one on each side where it hinges. It's really simple, actually. hih

Yeah... actually do the reverse: take out the rear seat backs FIRST (remove the 2 bolts on each hinge) and then you'll easily be able to see the bolt that holds down the rear seat.

I was looking at some Recaro but sparco was just too expensive for the ones I wanted!

I'm in my car a lot in the summer so i'm willing to pay the extra few bucks for my comfort. I had to sit in my buddy's APC seat last summer for a 3hrs. trip to a show & my Azz hurt like crazy by the time we got there.

Your call
