Seat compatibility P-LX and P-5

Hey everyone

Can anyone tell me if I can take a 2002-2003 Protégé5 seat and install it in a 2002 Protégé LX model, which has a cheaper seat model?
Are the rails compatible?

Thanks!
Mike

Yes, as far as I know it will work. I have a friend who did this with his LX.

Hey, is it me or are the base seats absolutely horrible? I feel like my butt is literally on the floor.

Installed the P5 seats today, fantastic! No more butt sagging or back pains.

I picked them up at the local scrap yard, just cleaned them up and installed them, took 1.5 hours, the bolt nearest to the seat belt is a major pain to remove.
