Ahh, the ever popular racing seats in a slow car. They look nice though. Personally I'd rather redo my current seats or install RSX or SI seats since i can get the back seat outta the deal. But they dont look bad, Is the color the same as your back seats (do they match) its hard to tell from the picture.

nice
i'm planning on changing my seats as well. I might go with the stock 02 si or rsx-s seats though. what does it feel like when you sit in the car. i'm not the tallest guy in the world when you sit in your new seat is it lower than the stock seat lowerd all the way down??

Sweeet!!!

How did the install go? Who did it? Airbag sensor on? Would the airbag still work in an accident, Are you using your stock seatbelts?

corbeau has brackets that bolt right in! they are very comfortable.
lower than stock yes, but i like to ride low anyway and they are not that bad.

i got black. looks sweet.

i got both front seats for a great deal...

...and i didnt get them for racing, just because the stock seats give no support at all...
the airbags will still work, you just have to use the stock seat belt connector...

How much did you pay for both seats dude? And where? They look nice... I want better support from my seats too, not necessarily for racing but I do like taking sharp corners...

i don't really like the stock seats either, i like seats where i sink they offer alot more support when cornering can you give an estimate how much lower the seat is compared to stock? I still wanna be able to see me hood, comes in handy in tight spots.

i paid $860US ($1200 CAN). this is a great price. they are 1900 after tax if i bought them through Canada.

if you are interested call PAUL at 716-316-4022. He lives in Buffalo. he can get them for you. i just drove to his place (1h 45min) and picked them up so i didnt have to pay for customs.

he is a very good business man. he wont screw you.

the seats are about 1-2 inch lower.

excelent support on turns, you wont move at all!!!

the seats are not too bad (about 800-900 for both) its the mounting brackets that are expensive.

if you want to make up your own brackets you can just buy the seats...

sparco and momo are much more expensive!

Hey Visitec, where did you get it installed from and how much?
Do they recline and slide back and forth? Does it come with all the part necessary for installation? Lemme know cause I might swing by Buffalo if all these conditions are met... Thanks!

cue2k1, check the info i left on a post in the first page.

i gave all the info of where i got it. I installed them myself in buffalo. took about 45 minutes all together.

all you need is a good tool set. Socket and so on. i suggest you take a seat from your car and put it back before you drive down so you know what tools you will need and how to do it. Very easy to do. only 4 bolts holding the seats in.

the seats recline all the way back and front to get in back seat. the also slide back and forth. the go much further back than stock too, which is good for me being 6' 3"....

Thanks for the info... If they're good for you being 6'3" then they should be good for me too. 45 minutes to install is sweet, I might do the same thing and install it there.
