The angled ends bend straight very readily. Yes, I used their slides. Yes, I
am back to my original seats. I would recommend cutting off the location
spikes on the Mazda rails. Be VERY careful when drilling holes for mounting
the seats -- remember that you have several critical tubes like fuel and
brakes (and emissions) right where the inner holes will want to be. The
seats do fit nicely, but you will lose some adjustment. I was never quite
happy with the positions I could use, so I reverted to my original seats.
The holes are quite close to where the original mounts are, but not quite.
YMMV
