Mazda3 Seats in a Protege?

[jrodhotrod]

Does anybody know if the seats from the Mazda3 will bolt into the protege with no modification, or little modifiaction?

I found the seats in the Mazda3 at Rev-It-Up to be much nicer and more comfortable then my Mazdaspeed seats, also held you in a lot better.

Has anyone done this or attempted to swap Mazda3 seats out?

Let me know.

Thanks!

ya the blue seats would look killer in a laserblue protege!

you might have to swap the rails but size wise they'd fit i think. back seats on the other hand.....

So we think they would fit, but we might have to swap rails (I expected this) How would I go about finding out for sure. Just wait for someone to try it, I am sure my dealer isn't going to be of any help in the matter.

id get real racing seats if i were u(smoke)

yeah, its a possibility, but I am not the smallest guy and I want something that's gonna be comfortable for me and passengers on a daily basis. Let alone the whole messing with brackets stuff.... But seats are a long ways off for me. I figured once Mazda 3s start showing up in junkyards or 3 owners start replacing their seats I might be able to get something for a good price, and it's a definite upgrade over the MSP seats.

Did this ever work?

Sorry to resurrect this thread from the dead, but did anyone ever successfully install Mazda3 seats into a Protege? I'd really like to know if this can be done as I'd love to get a set of Mazdaspeed3 seats and throw them into my Mazdaspeed Protege.

I have no idea, but I'll check it out when I meet up the with the club on friday and see if the mounting places match. I'll take some pics.

Hey mazpro,

Did you get a chance to get the fitment on Friday? Thanks.

I can't believe nobody has tried this yet. Does anyone know if Mazda3 seats will fit into a Protege?

Sorry to resurrect again but I've tried and there would have to be a lot of modding for custom brackets. The seat belts are tied into the seat and they're hella heavier than the stock Protege seats. Just an FYI.
