They sure look like they'll do the job. Might be tough getting in/out of the car though. How much are they charging for them?

I like them, but after looking at the rough dimensions on their page (38" high, 22" wide, and 21") that seems like they'd be really close to the headliner/roof doesn't it? I recall something like ~35" neighborhood was about right, but its been a while since I read that on here. Let us know how they fit if you get the. Post pics too!!!

Keep in mind that the Rx-7 seats in the full upright position (headrest extended) is 37" now none of us drive with our seats in the full upright position.

With the MRC seats reclined the difference will only be about 3/4 of an inch and even if it was 2 full inches there would still be 2 inches of room left.

The width is about 3/4 of an inch too wide but I assume that is flexable....

I really like the fiberglass back and the metal braces on the side....

Also I am not fond of the fake leather that all the other seats seem to have...

I hope to have them in the car by rotorfest......

I personally wouldn't go bigger then 35''. If you are even somewhat tall (im 6'1) you will not have a very good seating position plus your legs will come into contact with the wheel if the seat bottom is thick.

how thick is the **** part od the seat?
