on monday im goin to pick up a pair of Mazdaspeed Seats, im just wondering if they directly bolt up to the stock rail or would i have to modify it or fab/buy some other ones. If anyone else has bought the seat opinions would b nice

heres a link to the seats, the ones im buying are red

Oh cmon now, he's just asking for some tech info not opinions on the seats looks. Someone help this guy out.

 

Why didn't you ask the guys you ordered them from?

If a vendor can't answer questions like that, I don't buy from them...

 

You might want to talk to neofreak since he's had those seats. I think he said before that rails are needed but I'm not sure. PM him and ask. Personally, I think the black ones look great. You have to see them in person.

The eBay ones are NOT real Mazdaspeed ones.

 

I woudl agree but those seats are not authentic. You can tell just by the picture alone the stichiong is of poor quality. i'd rather go with some other seats that cost 600 bucks a peice. But then i realize that is way too much damn money to pour into seats. i'm gonna stick with stock and get engine work done.

Amen

 

your gonna need that engine work to top this weight reduction :-P j/k .... but to the original thread starter... i would do the engine stuff first and then do looks... however i dont know what your situation is, if your replacing damaged seats then go for it... btw i think all you need is the brackets off of the old seats.... but not sure how you are supposed to attatch it to the new ones... they should sell brackets... least the places i went to had brackets that came with the seat

 

damn i love those seats. sorry to ***** the thread but how much did you pay for them if you don't mind me asking?

 

Corksport has them listed near $800 each.

 

i love those seats too
i dont know why people are bitchin abt "it LOOKs cheap" ...
i remember u need either mazdaspeed's blanket

and how much are u getting them for ?

 

well i heard, that no matter WHAT seats u buy (except stock), you would need to either custom the rails or re-drill your seats.....
my friend went to a weld shop to weld the seats on a bar then on the stock rails...
well he bought racing seats for 80 bucks..... and the welding was 70 bucks.... so it was expensive.... but well if u spend 400-800 on Sparco or even Mazdaspeed, then might as well get someone to install it for u

 

well i have access to a mig welder and i do have some experience in welding, so if i need to weld up a new rail that shouldnt b a problem anyways. the reason im getting the seats is i can pick them up for 400 a PAIR... they are real mazdaspeed seats. the seller doesnt know anything about the seats or what they are worth thats why i posted here. worse comes to worse i'll just sell them off and make some money i guess

 

omg
400 a pair jump on them QUIK
i wish theres deals like that around here

 

wow, real ones =)
i mean i saw Ebay knock-offs (that look pretty good actually) for like 300 and i was satisfied (meaning if i had the money i would buy it)

well i hope they fit =) my friends that i told u about? the installer mount it too high in his 240.... now when u drive the 240, it seems like u are riding in a SUV....

This is what i was talking about

if u know welding =) then it is a Plus for u...

the driver seat that was polished a little

i actually got the seats for 350 for the pair instead of 400. what are your opinions?

 

Are these real MS seats? They look damn nice...

 

they look good only one looks really used and the other looks brand new and slightly different colors.. could be me or the shade or something

 

they both looked bad at first ... i spent about an hour cleaning each seat. right now they are both cleaned and sitting in my room. the pics are just to show how they compared from when i got them to after i cleaned them

 

not a fan......what color is your car?

 

Kenteht - as far as i know they are real MS seats, if they are fake whoever made them did a very good job.

Madrx7racer - My car is red ... so they do match up good
