      aftermarket seats

      Does anyone have aftermarket seats in their aveo? I'm thinking of maybe getting some cheapo recaro knock-offs from ebay and installing them. The seats aren't the issue. It's the sliders that's the bitch part. I've only done this once on my old cobalt and what I did was half ass bolted the new seat onto the stock slider and it sat like crap and was way too high. Any input would be great.

      he is saying has enough holes to mount anything..

      i would think your plan of reusing the stock sliders is what is needed. Modify them until it is right. I have done it a few times, anything can work. I even put mustang seats into a tacoma.

      count me in too - i just did a night of seat research with my buddy for my car and his tacoma and we saw how the mounting brackets are always extra and they do cost a lot... i was hoping to cut down the weight of the stock seats by at least half... and increase lumbar comfort if possible. there are some massive auto yards around where i work where i might find some decent aftermarket seats there but will monitor this thread too - btw does anyone know of certain cars that happen to have really light stock seats? (if any)

      there is a few companies that make brackets for us.... cipher auto, Corbeau and wedge brackets are a few that i know of. You can also modify the stock bracket and slider. I know it has been done, just not exactly sure how. Anyways here are some links!

      I'm not paying nearly $300 for brackets when I'm trying to put in $150 seats.
