Thread: Cadillac CTS Seats

Gator,
I haven't done those, but they should mount through the floor with some reinforcement underneath to prevent tear out in a collision. Seat belts should be mounted to the same structure as the seat, i.e. if you tie the belts to the frame then you want the seats to be structurally tied to the frame, too. Doing otherwise can trap you between the seat and the belt if things start coming apart, and the belt has guillotine action. If it were mine, I would be sure that any air bag circuit is (edit) disabled, or even better that the air bags were removed. With no inertia switch or triggering circuitry you don't want any type of short or unintended contact to the wiring to trigger the bags.

My $0.02 after lots of thought & study when mounting seats & belts in a glass car.

Edit - disregard comments about belts & seats mounting. Your picture did not come up earlier, but now that it does they solve that problem by integrating the lap and shoulder belts into the seat, which is ultimate safety.
