Dammit! Jackygor's sliders won't work with the seats. I need that L shaped bracket that Hondaguy mentioned before. What happened to the pics in your post by the way? I don't see them anymore.
I'm waiting for Tony at Speedware Motorsports to get back to me to see if he has anything that might work if not I'm just going to purchase the whole kit that he has and call it a day. I want these properly installed already. Gonna have to sell my body and soul for all of this.
More pics!      
Yes I know my S2K seats are in terrible condition. I drove all the way down to Kent, WA and waited for a dude 5 hours because he was apparently running late, wasted a whole day, spent 500USD when the exchange rate wasn't as good as it is today plus gas for there and back and took the time to do the seat pan swaps and stuff.
The photos the guy sent me were not the greatest quality either so I took a big risk driving down there and found out that they weren't in the greatest shape but I didn't want to leave empty handed.

Currently I am just waiting for Tony at Speedware Motorsports to reply to my email.
He has the full setup for both seats ready to go and he'll ship for free. It'll take one business day to ship.
All I need are Wedge Engineering brackets which I found on Honda-Tech and waiting for that guy to send them to me and some Recaro universal sliders. Then I should be good to install the seats into my Prelude.
If Tony from Speedware has sliders that will work with the Wedge Engineering brackets that I've found on Honda-Tech then we're in business. I'm just trying to see if I can save some money as the Wedge Engineering brackets I found are $135 shipped for both driver and passenger. So I think that's a good deal.

Here's another option. http://www.tees-usa.com/seatrail_ho.html
You need the "RO" type for the DC5R Recaros.

I got my Wedge Engineering brackets and Recaro sliders!!
Thank you Jacky for the sliders!
I'm in the middle of installing them into my Prelude. I have one compliant. Wedge brackets suck! I had to push down so freakin hard in order to get all the bolt holes aligned up. It seems like Wedge made them slightly too short or perhaps didn't consider some people have carpet in their car? But a mm or two thickness of carpet shouldn't matter.
Other then that is great. Pics up in a minute.

Not the greatest photos but fully installed. Went for a spin from White Rock through Surrey, New West to Richmond and back. So comfortable and no lower back pain!!
Here we go.   
Thank you Jacky for the Recaro rails and thank you everyone else who helped out! I greatly appreciate it!
Cheers
