nope they are FTO specific, Got them from Dstocks via Yahoo Japan, You will most likely find your seats share the same seat pattern as recaro etc

best bet is to get fabricator to make custom rail for you. Thats what i did to mine autotechnica. I am not sure bout your place but in NSW you need to get it engineered ( but i sorta didnt) :P
