they will fit, but i don't know how. i know you would need to swap the rails somehow or maybe the seat pan.

Go to the Corbeau seat webpage. They have a page that lists all the brackets they make. All you need to do is see if the same bracket is used for your car with the one you are taking it out of. http://www.corbeau.com/bracket_guide/bracket.shtml
In your case, your car used the D966F bracket. Del Sol uses the D1114T bracket. The answer is no. You cannot install the Del Sol seats into your car.

OEM seats do not have swappable seat rails. The seat and slider are all one component.

I dont normally like to tell other people that they are wrong, but this time i dont have a choice. now, i will agree that they are not a "perfect fit." but they are in. and they are a hell of a lot lighter that the original seats. three bolts on each seat go in. a slight modification had to be done. they do look tight as well. the grey seat with the red stripe. let me know what you guys think about the mod. if it scores well, then ill do a diy wright up. and then other people will get to enjoy a comfortable and light seat in thier hb.

well. cut/unbolt your old seat rails off. then cut/unbolt the delsol seat rails... then weld the old seat rails into a good position on the delsol seats..... you could do it like that.
