I'd be a bit interested in this because my poor old 82 seats have little support lift in 'em. It feels like I'm sitting on a toilet with the seat up! :toilet: I'm looking for some nice P-type seats but pickins are slim in my neck of the woods and shipping a used one woud be a last resort. (Besides, i need an old or cheap one for my dirt track project car.)

i have been thinking about going to a race seat for awhile because the stock p-type seat is so damned heavy, plus an aftermarket seat would proabably sit lower so that i could wear my helmet without having to have the sunroof open(im a tall bastard).

cyberauto has corbeu slide mounts listed for our cars so as long as you use a corbeu seat it should install pretty easy.

Bwahahah. Read Krunk's post. If/when I get another MkII that is what I will need to do to fit in there with helmet.

There are plenty of legit reasons even if you can't think of 'em.

I stand corrected :scratch: even though I'm sitting: Make it one good reason.

George- who at 5ft 10 probably would fit with a helmet, so I'll never get rid of my beautiful seats. And if i had to change my seats and had money flowing out of my @$$ would go for a sparco milano in a hearbeat.

getting lower is about the only real good reason I could see to go aftermarket, unless your going all race. Theres a seat guide in the current issues sport compact car. If your going with a reclining aftermarket seat, good luck dropping any pounds over the stock one. The stock seat weighs 45 pounds, and well over 10 of that (closer to 15) is just the rails. There were only a handful of reclining seats in the guide that were actually lighter then the stock mk2 seats (fyi, aftermarket seat weights are NEVER listed with the rails), and they cost between 400 to 800 bucks. If your going full race then you can get like 18 pound shell seats and such, but non reclining seats sucks in street cars. Oh and turbo, theres no such thing as a "drift seat". People in AE86s and 240sxs buy aftermarket racing seats so much because the stock seats in those cars have shitty lateral support. Those on a budget with rollas swap in supra seats, we have no such problems :wink: But hey, if you want to blow your money on an inferior seat, I'm sure I can hook you up with a pair of genuine drift seats for like $1000us :lol:

hrm. My experience with the fixed fiberglass Sparco Evo2 is that it's just fine for daily driving. 17 lbs seat and ~10 lbs in brackets.

well I don't know about you Chris, but I take big road trips in my car and sometimes I sleep in my seats or at least want to be able to lay back to relax. Plus I still have back seats and would like to be able to use them :wink:

Good point! I can't "lay back" in my driver's seat any more...

They're fine for driving though... with the lumbar support cushion.

Apropo G's. Do you know how many G's are pulled on you if your car goes in 50 km/h and crashes in the front of another car that goes in the same speed? 40 G's! Four-zero G'S!! Fighter pilots, eat y'er heart out!

Er, anyways. My MKII seats always hold me like glue when entering the freeway. And i like to enter the freeway with style. Once i entered sideways with my blackpra. (not intentially).

What, do you have ltype seats or something? Or are you crazy obese? I really can't see how the stock seats couldn't keep you firmly planted. They are adjustable you know, maybe play with that dial on the side of the upper portion a little :wink:
