Rx8 seats in a FC?
Okay, i know this can be done, but my question. HOW is it done? Do i need the drivers and passengers? a mismatch? etc. Also, does any know what the end results are like in terms of seating height in comparision to the stock Turbo II seats?

My minds tellin' me no...

From what I understand they sit higher. But that can be remedied by making new brackets or something. I've seen them in quite a few FC's, but no write up.
I would like to get rid of my Corbeaus and get some RX-8 seats, so I am interested.

Yes, I have also wanted to replace my TII seats with those of an Rx-8. I have found many on Ebay. I have not bought them in fear of them not fitting my 86 rx7. If any one has pics of this sort of Mod, I would love to check them out.

They do not drop in.
You need to custom fabricate an adapter bracket to make everything work. I do not know of anyone who offers a prefab bracket that you can buy. Basically, you're looking at a custom job. The drivers side should be pretty easy, but the passenger side is a pain in the ass. -Ted

If I'm going to go through all that trouble, I'd like to get some weight savings. I doubt most OEM seats would weigh less than the stock FC seats. -Ted

If these are R3 seats personally I would pass (not feeling them to much)
 I love the RX8 seats but from what I understand they are VERY HEAVY seats.. Not sure if I would want to go that route.. but I do like these..  maybe black on black, or black on grey or black on red though.. and with MANUAL seats no power options for me please.

While I would love to have some RX-8 seats in my FC for they way they look, their weight and the fact that they sit too high make it not worth while.
I'll keep my Corbeau's
