They require a swap of the rear inner seat mount bracket & then the fronts still dont completely line up.
Keep in mind that the rear seat (that is almost useless as it is) will become almost inaccessible.

I have a few leftover Galant seats from partouts & that is my findings.

Hope this helps. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/dunno.gif

On mine only 3 of the 4 bolts and nuts fit for the front. I just did a little bit of bending on the rears. The bottom of the rear seat was cut a little bit to fit onto the stock locking location for the csm.

I imagine its easier to fit the rear seats from a Galant into a CSM sedan than it is for a hatch.
I looked into swapping Galant seats into the front of my Colt hatch & what I posted is what I found.
I wasn't too happy w/ the results so I didn't do it.

Hence the reason I have 2 full sets of Galant seats for sale. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif

Yeah, my buddy is planning on putting dsm front seats into his csm hatch but we are not sure if they will be close enough to fit. I will go take pics of how the seats are installed on my car and post a link to them. I am satisfied on how they fit and wont be changing them anytime soon. It only took me about hr and a half to get it all done.

that is how the rear seats were installed. The mounting tabs had to be straightened out to bolt down.


the bottom had to be cut a little bit and compressed back together for the smaller mounting holes on the csm.

i've looked around and i think a 1g dsm rear seat will work, if not i might just have someone redo the whole interior black leather with red stiching. It should look nice with a black csm with the red stripe on the side of the car from the factory, along with all new factor red lettering.
