Mounting recaro's built for another car

I have a question. As the title states im looking at buying a set of Recaro's from either an old Sti, Evo, or there were a few Accords that ran Recaro's that were basically like recaro sport seats. I plan on re wrapping them. I just dont want to drop the Recaro PREMIUM if I dont have to! Link below is the seats from the Accord? I was referring to.

My question is will I have to buy and modify brackets, or will I just treat them as regular Recaro seats? Any advice will help.

it will really depend on the brackets that come with the seat.

I recently took a passenger recaro seat from an Evo IX, detached the mounting brackets, switched the seatbelt and adjustment **** to the other side, but kept the OEM sliders and attached to a planted brand seat base. It overall worked flawlessly, but sat too low for my likes, plus the seat just wasn't as comfortable.

Ya? Well at least I know that the Evo seat works. I like it, im just unsure on what to do haha. I have a 34-36 waist, but I sat in a set of brides and evo seats before and they fit great. So I was thinking if I goa a good deal, re wrapped them, and maybe re molded a bid in there it would work GREAT!!! I was thinking of doing GTR seats, but they are around 3k easy. There is a set with blown airbags now though ahah.

I do have a question or 2 regarding recaro seats. If anyone can answer this it would be great. The recaro speed seats are they the same as the older model Evo seats they look the same, only old evo seats are cheaper. Any help would be nice.

Okay I need HELP I have r35 GTR seats. I swapped the rails, in hopes I could keep the motor for the seats and that everything else would swap.... Well as you could guess it didn't work. So my new plan is to get sliders and a new base to mount everything to . I believe there is a different motor that controls the seat back forward and back, and the thigh part up and down. If the thigh part does not go up and down, I really don't care, it's mainly the seat back forward and back. Any one could help point me into the direction of the brackets and sliders that could work that would be great.
