Where to buy Infini seats?

Hey guys,

I'm looking at buying 2 Infini seats for my car. I'm just wondering if there's a reliable source to buy these from outside of eBay. I'm going between the Infini or Bride Low Max's. I like the Infini's because, well, they're OEM and I'm a sucker for that stuff.

Let me know, thanks...

Only ones I can find here for sale are $1,600 for the pair which seems high...

how many infini RX7's do you know of?

just give it up and buy the brides.

or take a picture to an upholstry shop and have some replicas made off something with a similar design.

$500+ average for each infini seat is common.

yup, 1600 is a good deal, not dealing with shipping from japan which is normally around 700 and a month or 2.
my buddy has these same seats, after it was all said and done, he is 2g deep.
lmk man, i can have them boxed up today and shipped tomorrow

the same reason that you spend hundreds of thousands of dollars for a 60 year old classic car, its a matter of rarity. these seats are one of the rarist parts for this car that mazda ever produced

Thanks though.


I guess if they really are that much $$, I'll pickup the Brides. I had found some OOOOLD threads with people asking $6-800 for a pair which seemed more reasonable...

I believe you can get them at your local autozone? Or have them shipped to you from an autozone ware house. Either way they have them at autozone.com. Theyre life time warranty too. They might even left you go into an autozone w/ the receipt and get money for your core.

Thanks for the heads up! I would've gotten the wrong ones. I searched "60-8030" and found them for 10 dollars cheaper (core is charge is $30). No description but right part number. Worst thing that can happen is they're wrong and you return it. I might just buy one and compare to an original one.

you cant get them, i called the corp headquarters and got told by the general manager and was told "we cant get these, we havent had a set in 6 months, i guess your best bet is importing them from japan?"
i checked every single company in the states that supplies cores for that a1 cardone number and was told the same thing.
HENCE, why i said, you CANNOT get these for less than 250 IF you can find them
same goes for my seats

Uncle D,
I have some Infini seats I will take pictures of and you can make an offer if you like what you see.

I have been meaning to change to FIA race buckets for a while.

i have never seen TII axles from any of the parts stores, they are all misbadged to fit n/a and TII, but they obviously are n/a axles.

I think the only reason to get some Infini seats is if you want that "rare" look on your car. Other than that you are better off getting some cheaper, more effective buckets.

Bumping this instead of making a new thread, but what model Brides are these seats? I know this is a year old, but isn't 1600$ still a good price considering most aftermarket seats sell for nearly 1,000$ each anyway?
