depends on what you mean by "what fits"? Most stuff unless its uber wide will fit...just need to find subframes ad if you want them, sliders for the frame to bolt the seats to. Im toying with the idea of bucket seats...i had them on my integra but i remember it wasnt all great - my missus couldnt get in her side as im smaller than her (me very small - not her very large lol!) and it was really uncomfortable especially with th hard suspension i had on that car...

have you looked at the fd subframe...it might not be too hard to butcher a set...especially when its possible to get a pair of seats for 50 with subframes,


detach the seats, sell them separately for say 25? And then you got a pair of butcherable frames?

One thing to be aware of...

if you\'re planning on tracking the car you\'ll need to wear a helmet.  For anyone approaching 6\' this is difficult on the stock seats so buckets would be ideal BUT some of the subframes are too high for comfortable positioning.  Worth making sure the seats are low enough for this to work!

I\'ve got a recaro subframe and it\'s about 1" too high and the seat can\'t be mounted any lower unfortunately so I\'m working on other options!
