my standard response to seats not designed for our cars:
i don't know about fitting seats that weren't designed for your car. while you may be able to get a seat that you desire to fit onto a bracket that will fit your car, you may end up testing the waters if you get into an accident. but i suppose that you are at the mercies of past honda engineers if you get into an accident.
your best bet is to look at the specs of the seat(s) you are inquiring about. you need to find the length and width of the seating surface,and compare it to the length and width of your current stock seat. if the seat is too wide, it won't fit properly in the car, regardless of the brackets on the bottom.
after that, you would need to take a look at how the brackets are positioned on the bottom of the seat.
then, you'll need to find out the length of the brackets on the desired seat. it's best if you can use the brackets that exist in the desired seat, so as not to rip out the brackets and put in your own, as it will decrease the integrity of the seat itself. it makes sense to find a bracket length as close as possible (if not exact) to that of the cb7, so that it will fit in the tracks.
synopsis: dimensions of desired seat compared to the stock seat, bracket positioning, bracket length of desired seat.
you could theoretically, if you didn't care about having a seat that slides forward and backward, bolt the seat directly into the floor.

Even if the seats fit I wouldn't get them. No offense but I don't like them. They look kinda cheap. I have seen some better seats on ebay that are actually made for our cars. But hey if you like them it's cool.:D
