daytona seats in the shadow

[turzbo]

hi all, was wondering if the seats out of a 88 shelby z would bolt in to a 91 shadow or do you have to swich the seat track if you can, not worryed about power driver seat, and as for the wings and the lumbar suport should be a constant power, or key on power, any advice would be great,
thanks

Yes, you'll have to switch the seat tracks.

yeah you have to switch the track
what kind of daytona seats you looking at?

track changing is not to much work
and if your seats are trashed its worth it

Someone please explain the seat track swapping? I have 88 Daytona seat tracks bolted to the bottom of my CSXT seats and it worked just fine. I know pre-88 the seat track mouting is different but in 88 it changed and *I THOUGHT* it stayed the same throughout the rest of production. Was there yet another floorpan change?

Back in 1993, I put 91 Shelby seats into my 87 Shadow ES. My red Shadow seats were wearing out and I found a 91 Shelby in the junkyard with excellent red seats. This was actually one of my first mods to a car.

What I did? I removed the cloth covers from each seat bottom. Then I covered the shadow's metal frame with the daytona's seat cover.

I remember doing this because the seat tracks were completely different between the two. I couldn't swap tracks from seat bottoms. Nor would the daytona seats just bolt up with a shadow's floor.

The daytona's seat track front mounting points are more laid down with a lower seating position compared to a shadow.

Everybody was impressed with those daytona seats. In my circle of friend's, I was the least knowledgeable when it came to working on cars.
