yeah they will fit, just make sure there from a 3dr if yours is a 3dr, etc.

Also if there the recaro bucket seats from the r26's you would need to make sure all the runners and bases are with them

I forget what the tool is called, a star drive? just like an allen key but star shaped, not sure what size either, main thing you need to remember is to disconnect your battery, otherwise you'll set your airbags off, and poss end up with some black eyes.

No they all have airbags. You must disconnect the battery and wait about 10 minutes before removing them.

-Unplug battery
-Leave for 30 minutes ;)
-Take old seats out
-Bolt new seats in and connect airbag wiring
-Reconnect battery
-Away you go.

I would hazard a guess at yes. I think they are the same seat just leather faced.

Aren't the air bags coded to the ecu? Trip to steelers on the way?

They were a direct replacement in mine, didn't bother disconnecting the battery it was quite straight forward to swap over.

No warning lights popped up or anything :D
