yes they are the mazda speed. I paid $270 delivered to my door. The fuzzy dice were a Xmas present from my kids. It would hurt there feelings if I dont hang them.

The driver seat was a piece of cake but the passenger one was a frikin nighmare to get to mount correctly.

I have more picture on how I fabbed it . I didn't drill any new holes at all. I'll post pics this weekend.

you can say that again. I tried to install the bro's recaros from his RX-2 but I stopped when I encountered problems in the passenger side. Got the stock seats re-upholstered for $150 instead. But now, I may need to remove the 4-point roll bar. The seat sits very high and feels so bulky; maybe as Im used to old & worn out seats.

I've used a set of burgundy leather seats while the stockers were at the shop. I hated it as I was sliding on every turn. Too bad I hate shipping parts. otherwise, its a good candidate.
