Default Pre and post 96 seat fixings the same?

Hi, can anyone tell me if the pre 96 and post 96 seats have the same fixing points?
I thought they were the same,but i want to get a pair of Corbeau seats,but the tailored frames are for 96 on only.

Thanks,Tim

I thought all the classics had the same fixing points for seats....i recently purchased some Buddy club seat rails for a my99 classic and they didn,t ask me what year they where for.......

Right, i've just purchased a pair of Corbeau Forza seats, which have universal sliding runners fitted.
Would i be better off ditching the universal ones, and buying a pair ot tailor made ones? Trouble is, a new set of the tailor made ones are £130, £30 more than i paid for the seats!
Would i be able to remove the runners from the subaru seats, and bolt them to the corbeau's, making plates up? This way i could keep the seat belt pint too.

You can fabricate some plates and use the original seat runners from your oe seats.....the reason i went for the Buddyclub rails is they suited the side mount Cobra items and they can be fitted in a low position.I,m sure weight wise there is a reduction compared to the oe subaru rails as well.

The buddyclub items also retain seatbelt fixing points.

Omp do a subaru fixed mount for side mounted seats which is a better price iirc....
