We put a similar set in a guy's Del Sol...they were actually quite comfortable, and the quality was decent. We had to make custom brackets, but that was no biggie. They're cheap, but they do the job I guess.

APC is mad tiggity tight y0!!!!1! Make sure you get the ones with the neons!

Get yourself some second-gen Turbo II seats, I think they fit FB's, not 100% sure on that though. They are surpisingly comfortable, and you can get them cheap. I got mine for $40 in near pefect condition.

I can probably get you some, shipping to Canada won't be fun though and they wont be nearly as cheap as I got mine.

Just pic up some used miata seats for cheap. They are nice a thin and sit low to the ground. You might want to check the width of the apc seats. It been a while since I checked but I think they where pretty wide.
Here is a shot of mine with miata seats (lighting is a bit funny, but they are dark grey/black)


Later

I just got some ractive racing buckets and they fit and look sweet. The rails need alittle work but nothing major they almost fit perfectly. Comfortable with a capitol "C" and the 4 pt harness are pretty comfortble as well.

How much work is involved in getting those Miata seats to bolt up to the sliders? I've been thinking about doing the seat conversion but i don't know if I would ever be able to get the seats bolted in.

here is a pic of my seats...there cheap 3Aracing seats off of ebay...payed 360 after shipping.




and this is the adjuster to tilt the back (its "rotor" shaped) i think its pretty cool atleast


there nice seats...more comfe then i expected..but they were a pain in my *** to get in. and the passenger seat doesnt slide because of that damn trans/exhaust tunnel.

I got my seats from a friend actually. He bought them in red/black but they looked like crap in his interior. And I'm redoing my interior black and red so I asked how much he wanted he said $500cad and I bought them right there on the spot. Other than that you can order the seats right from their site. ractive.com
