arizen is probably sold out of the old style. best bet is to look in the classifieds for someone getting rid of his used ones.

I can get some. I don't advertise them anymore because I don't make anything off of them but I found a guy who still has a warehouse of them in Canada. Basically $550 shipped for synthetic and $750 for real leather. They are all black but you have a choice of black, red, blue or white stitching. PM or e-mail me for details...

Well those are the same seats you're looking for

MRC and Arizen both got their seats from the same manufacturer. Granted, Arizen had versions that they alter (pretty sure they all at least were recovered) but it is the same design.

I have had mine for a couple of years and still love them BUT some people who sit in them don't like them (and some love them) so I'd try to find a local set to sit in (they are Recaro knock-offs, find a Recaro to sit in, same frame design).

my arizen is incredibly comfortable. mad racing doesnt have their copy of this seat. they have the cheaper kind, with the bare plastic back. although, as ive said in a few other threads, the arizen seat did raise my seating position by at least 2 full inches. its a little better after getting the seat brackets modified and the cushion flattening a little from sitting on it.

Jeez, 750$, please tell me that's at least a pair, and not the price for one seat.

Google "Yonaka Ronin seats."

They're the exact same seats as the old style Arizen seats.

There's a company selling the leather ones for $650, and another selling the cloth ones for $300 on the first Google page that comes up.

They are a little different (material wise) but basically the same... It all started with Recaro's seat. That got de-engineered into another brand that a company ONLY sold to other companies that labeled it their own.

Then some companies (like Arizen) took it and made it better (MRC did to an extent as well). Then they became popular enough some people copied the copies

Ronin is a copy of the copy. There's much worse copies of the copy out there than Ronin though...
