Default Aftermarket seat rails/brackets

Okay, so the seats that I'm looking at getting to replace the ones that were stolen from my car sit on sliders where the holes for the bolts are 34cm apart. Does anyone know what the spacing is like on the stock S2000 seat rails? Or where there's a list or anything like that of different companies' sizing? I don't want to get the seats and then find out I can't mount the damn things.

Thanks!

Knockoff Misanos: http://www.madracingconcepts.com/Seats/ima...n_red_large.jpg My cousin has a set in his Celica that he loves. I've always liked the way they look and figure it can't hurt. Don't know if anyone's put Misanos in their S2k so I don't know 100% about fitment but if it comes down to it, I'll just resell them...

I emailed the seller and he doesn't know which company's brackets fit them.

How's the comfort and feel on them? Does it hold you?

I find them comfortable. I'm about 6'2 and have a 36 inch waist, so I can't indulge in a lot of the cool, hardcore FRP/CF-backed racing buckets out there. They're about as comfy as the OEM seats and are about the same size (as far as I can recall since mine got stolen a few months ago :/ ). Since they're cloth, the seat surface has a bit more give and the memory foam makes them pretty comfy, but the fiberglass back means the side bolsters are much more rigid and hold you in nicely in the turns, which admittedly I couldn't take as hard in my cousin's Celica as I would in my own car.

They're pretty decent quality and reasonably well built. I flopped back against them a few times pretty hard to make sure they don't jiggle around a ton or anything and they were nice and stable. He got the brackets from them; I guess that the seller used to have Celica brackets available.

Just found out someone got ahold of my checkbook and went to town on my name, so I have to get all that shit straightened out... otherwise I was going to order them tonight. I'm probably just going to have to try to get them to fit stock rails or go around to some racing shops and see if they have any brand-name brackets I can measure.
