go hide in your corner and cry for 6 months.
if you like that then try it. :P

i have au xr8 seats. problems i have found are the seats sit to high and to far forward. but im used to it now.
i think ba is the same.
if ya real keen i can show ya how iv done mine.
best thing with mine is you can unbolt the seats and bolt them straight back into an au.
honestly if i went back in time i would not try. i would pay to get something like ebxr6 seats re upholstered.

yeh id at least get a price on doing that first.
but honestly if you spent 1 FULL day and you had the right tools and materials you could get au seats in.
i however took 6 months to do the lot. due to it being daily driver and me really not feeling like doing them.

AU seats are completely different to BA seats, Ive Put BA XR6 seats into my AU and it takes a fair bit but looking at EB seats it might be pretty easy compared to getting them in an AU

interesting might have to look into this a bit more, either that or EL XR ones, they are qutie nice, dont know how hard they are to put in though.. i think BA ones might be a little big, i need the seat to be quite low, im 6foot 4" so yea the lower the better :p
