Ok, so after the many, many........Seat swap posts lately, I decided to take some time and compile a list of what seats are direct bolt in and what seats will fit with MINOR modifications.
SO, post up what you ACTUALLY used, not what you have heard fits and what it took to make them fit if some fab work was required. This list will be submitted to TombRaider for final approval and then be stickied. (If that is allright with you of course Tomb...)
Did the Cavalier seats yesterday. They were out of a '95 but from what I could see it won't matter which year because they all use the same spacing on the mount bolts. Just toss all the cavalier mechanism and bolt to the jeep hardware. The seats I got recline and they don't interfere with my console. The only tight spot is that they rub on the roll bar when you recline them. Very easy swap and I should have done it sooner. $60 for the pair and about 1 hour.

Haha, sorry, I wouldn't have cared if you misspelled any other word.
And the contribute to the thread: If Camaro seats fit, then it would be 1982-2002 Camaro and Firebird seats would fit (just so you know). Also, if you want seats with some nice support and a good price: http://www.madracingconcepts.com/Seats/seats.htm
That I have no clue. You just gonna have to take the measurements. The contour seats are most likely gonna be very different from the windstar seats. The windstar is a minivan and most likely are more like a captains chair. The seat swap list is comprised of trial and error that members have done. So just check it out.
I got a set of 97 cavalier seats from a 4-dr and it was not a direct bolt in. The hole locations on the seats were two inches further aprart (front to back) and 1/2" wider than the sliders for the YJ seat.
However with a little fab I got them in no problem and they look and feel great. Got them at a 2 for one at the junk yard. Best $12 I spent on this thing.

So the recomendation to get seats from a 2 door is not just for looks it is the actual size of the seats as well......hmmmm, Gonna have to change that.
I can't remember what year, probably 1998 or 1999. I had to use quite a few washers in the back to lift the rear of the seat. Without them it was kind of like sitting in a rocket waiting to blast off. They did, however, bolt right in without any modifications to the rails.
These are my seats, they are from a 91 toyota celica gt, and all i used was 1 in square tubing to get them to line up with the factory riser.. best seat that i came across for 15 bucks from a you pull it yard.. take a look...
only differences were the mounting bolt holes were in a different spot..... also, i had to cut my yj's seat mounting brackets down for them to fit, the front of the new seats are much thicker than the stock YJ seats.
i can still fold the front passenger seat forward too.
the top of the seat (where your rump goes) is about an inch higher than the stock seats. which to me is a little more comfortable when working the pedals and what-not.
i already have..... i was disgusted myself when i pulled the seats out..... didn't realize it was all under there.....:dunno: i don't regularly look under my seats.....
These are AXE-2 brand seats. I had to drill two holes in my seat brackets. Easy install. They're a pain to get into because of the high sides, but they do a good job of keeping you in the seat on rough trails. I bought them on eBay a few years ago.
here are my seats..... they came out of a (can't remember exactly) 2000-2003-4 dodge neon, not direct bolt in, but still worth the effort.

I will be adding this to the FAQ section this week. I'm going to search out the other posts that have been posted over the past few years and add them to the list. Thanks to all that have contributed...and keep'em coming. Good job!
