You'll either need to buy appropriate rails for your car or modify the current rails to install them.

Ractive rails designed for those seats to fit an 01-05 civic would fit.

And no, you probably won't be able to reuse the rails if you modify them.

I'd just hit up google and search..

You might still be able to find a way to mount your stock rails to the seats easily, there's no set rules on these things so just experiment. Post your results and some pics of the seats.

Re: Ractive racing seats- how to install ?

It's just a matter of taking your stock seats out and then seeing how the ractive ones fit on the rails. You might have to drill new holes. Do a good job though. The last thing you need is for the seat to break loose during an accident.
