Default aftermarket seat rails?

I did a quick search but didn't come up with anything.

Does anyone know if the rails made for 02-07wrx/sti fits in our cars, or has that been changed too?

TIA

I'll know in a couple weeks when I test-fit a recaro bracket in both my cars.

I suppose I should let this thread die, but the answer (which is NO) is in this other thread:

changing the 08 seats

We mounted Sparco PRO2000s in our 08 using the 02-07 bases as a starting point. The front mounting tabs were fine, but we had to fabricate some new brackets for the rear mounts.

By '02-07 bases, I assume you mean the Wedge Engineering brackets?

Nope, Sparco bases direct from Sparco (I believe they are made by Speedware Motorsports)
