Done some research on my own.

I misjudged the floor, if you tilt the seat/rail back and down, there is no real height issue. So there is no need for "floor managmenet" nor special rails. In both cases, if your new seats have or don't have their own rails you can use genuine rails and easily save 100+ $.

My replacement seats do have their ones so i just need brackets from original seats. Marked orange

These are rails of new seats,

I was fascinated that holes in toyota rail which connect rail with brackets are exactly the sae as 4 holes in recaro rail on new seats. Marked green in both pictures. Don't really know if this is some kind of standard, but surely liked it! Smile



So, only thing i need is to dismantle brackets and screw them in new rail.
Brackets are little rusty so i will sandblast mine and paint them, just to make everything look as good as possible when i can do it myself.


After that, these babies will be in Corolla real soon Smile.

Obviusly, toyota rails and brackets, at least in my case are great.
But, even if you plan for some bucketseats, with little welding you can fit the seat on genuine AE86 rail which are really ok, very low and have both rails locking mechanism. Can save ~100$ bucks easily.
