Aftermarket Seats

So....I own a 02 Solara SE with the optional driver side power seat installed. I was wondering how I would replace the power seat with say...a Corbeau or a Sparco (for example). Any tips would be appreciated, I personally dislike the power seats.

You can put any aftermarket seat in there and get rid of the power option.
You might have to modify a universal slider to mount the seat.
There are several guys on here that have aftermarket seats.

I had Corbeau CR1 seats with Corbeau rails and sliders at one point. Everything bolted right in:

Then I had Sparco Torino 2 seats with Sparco sliders. Sparco obviously doesn't make rails for the Solara, so I had to drill holes in the Corbeau rail to make them work. Worked out just fine though!

I also had a Bride fixed back for a couple of weeks, using the Corbeau bracket and another set of holes. I just recently found out that seat was a knockoff, lol... FAIL! But basically, corbeau rails our your solution for pretty much any kind of seat install in the Solara- go for it!

So...clean. I wish my car was that clean. My car was last owned by my mom who unfortunately dirtied up the seats.

I had a fixed bucket for awhile; made it so much better for the track.

Sparco something-or-rather (legit btw, the previous owner had it redone in black and white).

How do you attach the harness without using a harness bar?

Used "eye" bolts that screw into the holes under the backseat that are for the backseat seatbelts.
