Racing Seats Install???

I'm looking for a good shop that can do custom intsalls on racing seats with sliders for a civic.
If anybody knows of a place please let me know
thanks

Why not do it yourself?? I did my Sparcos on stock 6th gen sliders...took some ingenuity and welding, but it's not that hard. Any sheetmetal shop can do it, as long as you bring in the rails and seats. Be sure you know how you want to position you seats, cause racing seats are quite a bit lower than stock ones. It's like sitting on the ground I placed a 10 mm spacer in the back to slightly tilt the seats forward so I get a good driving position where I am able to lock my knee with my foot on the footrest, but still maintain a 90 degree elbow angle. It really helps promote good driving habits and posture. Keeps you alert.

I thought the seats were movable? As in the can slide front and back and tilt up and down as well?

Does that just depend on the seat?
