   Thought so. Do you reccomend any sites to buy frames. Ebay have them for 90 each side.

   ebay or here is only place u might have a slight chance of getting a set cheap. subframes are the expensive part that u can;t do without unless u side mount the seats or get some custom jobbies made up

   I'd just look around for the cheapest. If your seats are side mounted then you will need side mounts as well. What seats are they?

   You still need subframes to bolt the side mounts to

   You are joking right? The seat will just rip through the floor in a crash. and the fact that the floor isn't flat what with all the strengthening ribs everywhere
