Default Good Seats

What are some really good seats for these cars..?

I think the one on my passengers side is broken..I can set it in the normal position, and it rocks forward and backward alot..it has no support at all. My girl rides in it and it throws her around alot, expecially when I get a little backlash in the drivetrain.

I'm looking for a good solid seat, something that won't rock around like that.

Check the bolts that hold the seats to the seat brackets. They have 12 or 13mm nuts that come loose.

Everything on the underside of the Seat is fine..its the upper portion where it hinges..something is messed up in that area.

when you click on one and scroll down it says


So, for $500 you get A PAIR (not just one but TWO) OF SEATS (with your choice of BLACK, RED, BLUE or WHITE stitching) SHIPPED TO YOUR DOOR!!! Cheaper than recovering your stock ones and WAY cooler!

seems like a good deal. if anyone has these how do you like them? are they good quality?

Is there any way you can post some pics of them installed in your car? Just want to see what they look like with our interior. Thanks!

I see that these seats come with sliders, anyone know if you can adapt your power sliders to them?
