Default Prodrive bucket seat mounts

I've just bought a Prodrive bucket seat and I need a mounting bracket for it.
Can anyone help me in which mount I need?

I have a 05 plate Impreza if that helps.

Thanks in advance.

Also, what's the best way of removing the drivers seat? Will I have to disconnect the battery so the air won't go off!?

Thanks

I think you need a set of side mounts and then a specific subframe for the car.

I have a brand new recaro sliding subframe which I was going to fit to my classic so if that will fit then PM me.

The seat is a sparco item, so you will need sparco brackets, see here :

Give them a call, they should be able to help

IIRC the prodrive seat is based on this sparco model :

Thanks for all the replies. I'll have a look round demon tweaks to find a mout. I'm not looking forward to taking the seat out because knowing my luck the air bag will go off!

Is there a how-to guide on how to remove a seat?
