Default Fitting new seats and rail advice

Evening all

I've just purchased some new corbeau seats that need underneath fixing (not side mounts).

Some advice please, I've been told Buddy Club rails are the best and it can be a nightmare making some custom parts and using my existing sliding mechanism.

What have you guys done? Is there any guides to removing seats?

It's a WRX hawkeye.

Cheers guys

REMOVING seats is easy: 4 bolts. lift them out.

If there are airbags, disconnect battery for 30 minutes BEFORE disconnecting airbags, and be sure to have a resistor ready to bridge the terminals, or the airbag light will go on.

Does anyone know the resistance needed for the seat airbag wire? Any clues where to get them?

Are they the same resistors needed as the steering wheel?

Thanks
