think fronts are fine, rear base will stick out slightly further and side bolsters are wider so you need to get falcon ones recovered in the same leather, maybe from the fairlane bolsters

they are a direct fit, done this myself. if you have 4 door power windows the connector will probably be under a small flap in the carpet

if you don't mind me asking old mate, do the fairlane seats have the electric recline or is it limited function, forward back etc ?? that big thumb wheel thing on falcon seats to recline them has always been an annoyance to me i must say.

Some like the LTD's, and Sportsman/Millenium Fairlane's got the full 10 way electric setup, but most Fairlane's got standard 6 way (for/back/up/down).

mine are just the 6 way, the 10 way is far more complex to wire and is attached to the mirrors too for the memory function
