i got these on ebay and then just modified them to the stock sliders. they sit kinda high byt im only 5'10" so its fine by me but anyone 6' cant sit in the car comfortably

i was limited on seat choices since my car was a factory white interior i wanted to keep some white. honestly if i did it again id order jegs or summit or scat seats and their adapter brackets. this way was kinda a pain

Are you looking for stock replacement. Or aftermarket? Racing or comfy.? Fixed or reclining?

i recently purchased a pair of seats through amazon, 3A brand. bout 280 for the pair delivered. tey are really nice, pretty comfy feeling, the downside is you usualy have to get the custom brackets, which ran me 200bucks more. and im still waiting for them to be made, been a month now. if i cud go back and do over, id surely get them all together, probly the 6LE designs setup i discovered here, wish id have found it sooner.

I love my Corbeau CR1's, but I managed to snag them for $450 or $500 from a Mustang guy, I can't really remember as it was a few years ago. Then the seat brackets ran me $180 shipped from Corbeau if I remember correctly, and the Schroth 4 point harnesses were somewhere around $330 shipped. I sold the used Mustang Corbeau brackets for around $95 shipped in the end I think it was.

So I guess my setup is no where near the prices you put up top for an example.



They are damn comfortable though! I can ride in this car for 20+ hours straight, no problems.

The least work & cheapest option would be getting mint condition leather seats from a trans am. you should be able to find fronts & rears on classifieds here for about 400.

If you are buying new, quality aftermarket seats with brackets will be north of $500.
