ok so long story short, me and my buddy just bought racing seats..i have a grand am and he has a cavy..mine are new in plastic (not from dealer tho) and his are used and from a honda...question is can we take the stock brackets off of our seats? or what do we have to do to mount them up?
do a search someone on here shows you how to custom make a sliding bracket on here. but I believe thats what you need. A custom sliding bracket or buy a bracket somewhere for your car.
dang, i kept convincing myself that something was going to be installed without much of a hassle..lol..thanks man
no problem man. I was thinking the same thing when I was thinking of getting racing seats but if you know what brand seat you have they sell already made brackets for those seats. Im not sure where though
yey i got apc's...i should know better by now that nothing goes easy with this car...now my talon on the other hand, psh everything was easy..lol..
yeah cavys and fires can be very complicated on some stuff and some stuff is direct bolt on. but the more entertaining stuff has to be a pita.

I had APC Seats in my first J... a Sedan however I took the existing brackets off of my stock seats, and just bolted them to the bottom of the APC Seats. All holes lined up, of course you'll want to clean up the rusted existing brackets. BTW i'm 5'11 and still had a good amount of room to the roof, you will be higher then stock due to the thickness in your seat. That is depending on the type of seat as well.

wow i was hoping that i could just pull the stocl brackets and everything would work..so it was just a simple take off of the stockers and mount it 2 the aftermarket?
It's very possible... I had these APC Seats in my old car just got the "apc" part replaced with my car club logo at a local upolstery shop.
The seats above I took my stock brackets off and bolted right up to the aftermarket ones. I may have had to drill a hole I don't quite remember it was a few years ago.
Try that first, if that doesn't work then you search for a thread on building the seat brackets and a little fabrication.

Any Updates John? Let me know if it worked if not I may be able to point you in the right direction.
