I want to install my rsx leather seats (front and rear) in my 2003 cavy ... what I have to do ? New brackets for the front ? and for the rear I don't know ?? Need help and pics if possible.
new brackets for the front, and idk about the rear, do it and tell us
Like said above you'll need new brackets for the front. I know of three others that have the RSX leather front seats in Cavaliers, but I don't know that anyone has tried fitting the rear seats before.
I see somebody who installed front seats for rear seats ... so I think it's possible ... I have to install a custom bracket.
I've seen Neon rear seats and GTO rear seats installed into Jbodies so I'm pretty sure it's possible.
have you got any pics or informations for this transformation ? with gto rear seats ? cause I think it can be nearly the same thing ... but I am not sure
im putting a set of RSX front seats in my 05 hopefully this weekend. ive been looking at them and im thinking if you grind the mounting "tabs" off the RSX seats you can just make a plate and weld/bolt it to the RSX sliders then bolt it to the stock cavalier seat mounts on the floor. it may work im not sure if you will need something to lift the RSX tracks off the floor a bit. the front seats will sit really low in the car, but thats not an issue for me because im 6'2.
i was looking at the rear seats at work (the only perk to inspecting and inventorying 800 wrecks a month) they will fit height and width wise, but because they are 50/50 folding seats the upper half would need to be fixed to the car. im not sure how to do this yet. it would need to be secure, you don't want it break loose during a collision with someone sitting back there.
there's also 2 down falls to using the RSX rear seat. you loose the middle seat, because the RSX only seats 4 and has that "console" in the middle of the rear seat. second you loose you folding rear seat, it may be possible to use the RSX rear seat latch/lock to anchor them and keep the folding rear seat, but im not sure on that one.
a little off topic but im 99% sure RSX front seats won't fit in the back of a cavalier, they are too tall and would be against the back window.
