Are the side mounts pictured with the giant FIA logo FIA approved? Um, yes.
They're not really "converters" they're just the normal side mounts that you would usually bolt straight to the floor of the car. But if you've got an unmodified floor (i.e. you still have the factory mounting bumps), then you can use a seat adapter bracket to get a flat set of rails to bolt the side mounts to, but that may not be FIA legal.
In a race car, the proper way is to cut away all the factory mounting bumps and weld a plate to the floor that the side mounts would bolt directly to. That also gets the seat a bit lower. I just used the seat adapter brackets in my WRX because I didn't want to modify the floor pan of the car. I've never had tech inspection issues w/ SCCA... rally might be more strict.
