What about these seats ?
Monday, July 24, 2006 8:50 PM
Hey guys, I was shopping around for seats and im considering these.. they are a lil less than 300 shipped and seem wide and have sliders with them and are leather, so if I got them would they be a direct bolt in ? or would I still need some kind of bracket, and do they seem like a good deal? or are they gonna be a waste of money because they are cheap and will fall apart ?

These

Thanks in advance, and help is appriciated

If not these seats, what are recommended in the 3-400 per pair range ( inc. brackets and shipping like total )

well i know a guy that bought a pair of cheap racing seats that now his sit wont sit upright... the reclining thing broke. so yes... i would be carful of what you buy, i got some rsx seats, sliders, and shipped for 250 i beleive, and they are sturdy, and comforable, they are alittle tight fitment wize, but i plan on redoing the doorpanels anyways. so it will be all good.. anyways good luck on your search

I have some that look like those except they're black cloth instead of red leather. They've held up pretty good for over 6 months. But I didn't use the brackets that came with them. You can use the stock brackets, the seats I had were teh same width for the holes, they were just closer together length-wise. I just used some heavy duty washers to keep the front in the bracket until we were able to fab up some metal bars that ran under most of the bracket. The advantage of stock brackets is you get to keep the seatbelt sensor and still use the stock seatbelt. I've heard of people sitting too high using the stock but mine sit about the same. Here's some seats from the user I bought from. They're a bit cheaper but they may not be your style.

enough real leather to stitch one of those seats up would cost you more then 150$ seems hard to believe that they could make two leather seats for 150$ i'd personally look elsewhere.

um just cause they are leather does not mean they are HIGH QUALITY leather. Look at recliners for you living room. They are leather and some of them are 150-200$ a piece. a lot more leather in them than car seats. Also a lot more product.

Real leather is not expensive its the HIGH END stuff that is.

Just my two cents though so PFFFTTT LOL

yeah.. im sure they arent gonna be anything like some of the more expensive brands, they could be pleather for all I care, as long as they are comfy, but I didnt know mostly about brackets.. will these bolt right in from what you can tell... if anyone has bought seats before not sure what else I would need. it indicates that it has sliders, but mounting brackets may be something else it doesnt say, but it mentions its for cavaliers. So not really sure if there would be any more purchases involved.

I had Corbeau A4 seats and had a problem with the cloth tearing, so im hoping that the leather ( as cheap as it is ) will be easier to keep together and that they wont break or be too stiff or whatever you get from cheap seats.. so just wondering if someone has had experience with them.

Thanks for the comments guys
