Is the spacers due to a height difference? I am going from a bench to buckets so I assume I'll have to drill new holes no matter what. What causes the issues with the different seat tracks? Sorry, I have limited knowledge on this.
JuniorJ said:Most newer seats are about 2-2 1/2'' shorter than the older seats.That is why the spacers are neede, but if you are taller you might like the lower seats. Also some of the newer GM cars have seat tracks the hook in the front and bolt down in the rear.

The seat tracks from my wifes 03 Impala are like this, they hook in the front with 2 bolts to hold them in place and sit almost flat at the back. They are much more comfortable than the seats in my Monte for sure and hold you in better as well. Swapping seats is trial and error. At one time we swapped the full buckets and console from an early 80's grand prix into a 4 door Malibu. Looked good when it was done but there was a lot of trial and error trying to get the bucket seats to sit up straight. Ended up with a couple of brackets and some spacers to make it work.
