I'm a bit scared to purchase these seats. They look pretty nice but they're $100 bucks and $150 shipping. That's pretty cheap. I wonder if they're gonna last. Anyone have any thoughts?

PICEH!!

i wouldn't waste the money, for $100 more i got the netami seats, much better built. i will probably be writing a write up in the next few days on my installation and impressions.

 

mmmm Netami, yeah I saw those... blue and black... they look nice. Is that the color you got?

my car is red so i went with the red/black.


i managed to install them with the stock FC sliders with a little bit of modifications, nothing that can't be easily done by others here on the forum.

 

Yummy! Post pics when you can!!

sure will.

 

do you have a link to where you can buy them

 

NETAMI: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...category=33701

 

you can get em for a better price than that, paid $370 shipped for my pair, ill link the seller a little later.

 

I think they are very stable, they are well made too. I got these off of ebay for 350 the pair shipped. I m happy and they are very comfortable. Go for it!!

 

Those are a different brand, nice seats. I like 'em.

how did you mount those 'mazdaspeed' seats? I'd *love* to lower my seat an inch or two, since im a tall guy.

 

are u asking me how i installed them?

easy:

i used the stock rails and added a 1 1/2" metal bar, front and bad back. Measure up the holes on the seat and drill in the metal bars. Took a bit on the passenger seat though, different design then the driver seat. I posted the specs and a diagram when i installed them. Oh and make sure you drill the holes perfectly, just a little off and your gonna end up spending more time.

 

I haven't seen those mazdaspeed knock offs on ebay I want some since the netami dont come in all black anything but all black would look lame

 

got them from a guy that works at x3racing.com in california, he had them on ebay like um..........in febuary i believe!!

 

 

i bought them from this guy:

although it appears he isn't offering the same great deal i got, you can find them for a reasonable price still though, most are around $380-390 shipped.

 

Sexy pic!!! I love those seats. (Only I'd get 'em in Blue/Black cause my car is grey pearl in color.

they are a little bit ricey in appearance but they do get a lot of attention for the FC!

they hold relatively well even though they do not have super deep bolsters like some seats, they are also fairly comfortable as i use my car as my daily. i wiegh 180lbs and i'm 5'11". the passenger side still needs a little more work to be centered though as the mounts for the passenger side are funky to say the least...

i also tested the durabilty of them, they feel fairly solid in the recliner mechanism and in the seat back, i could feel no flexing and they are self stated 5 star rated for safety but i really don't know how true that is, all i know is they do feel like they are made fairly sturdy. they also state it is a woven carbon fiber material, the seats are not ultra light though due to the weight of their frame though, they are just slightly heavier than the stock T2 fabric seats.

 

Man those seats look cool. I want them in blue!!!!!

 

you want to sell your old seats to me. the ones in my car are hurting my ***. the leather one. i'll get them as a pair if its not too bad (price).

 

sure, just make an offer, you will just need to transfer the sliders over to the other seats since i used my stock ones on these.

 

let me ask you, those netami's. what is the exact material they are made of, cause i saw them and i was debating between those and these...

$150 for 2 seats...I dunno how safe I'd feel in those lol.

 

the Netamis are woven carbon fiber, not quite as bad as leather and more durable than most fabric seats.

i will tell you i spent a couple of days looking at all of the seats from the cheapest to the most expensive and these fit right in the middle, decent price for nicely built seats.

only other brands i would semi trust are DAD and Megan for the cheaper line, if you want to spend over $500 i can list quite a few really nice names to look for.
