Chasis Similarities?

Is a ESCORT's (91-97) floor the same as a mx-3? Or a 323's (2 WD) 88-93, floor the same? I'm trying to find some aftermarket seat rails. I remember reading that those cars have the same suspension as ours, but is the chasis itself the same? Will the floor be set up identical? I.E The un even rails, seat bolt down points ect.

Does anyone own a escort and a mx-3? Or a protege and a mx-3? That could possibly test out if a mx-3 seat will bolt directly into the other? This information would be very helpful for not only me but others that want aftermarket seats. Thanks

I know the escort rails will work, you can buy them from sparco little pricey but :shrug: i made some of my own to hold in my aftermarket seats, :welder: dont know how legal that is but they work well and seem to hold up nicely

323, Mx-3, Protege and Escort had interchangeable seat rail.. but there was a change in 93 or 94..

On the first year, they 'should' be interchangeable, but after that, can't say..
