Do those particular subfames differ to other E36 subframes.

GemE30 put some E36 seat into her touring..

If you're changing for something more modern - buy a set of recaro sr's out of an old evo 4 and have them retrimmed.

I think you can buy brackets from the USA or drill the floor plan?

They do weigh a ton :o

why don't you look at a set of recaro srd from Mitsubishi or Honda, You can pick them up at a reasonable price they were fitted standard to sport evo m3's
