Options for New seats In Convertible

Hello All, i know this has been covered before but im looking for opinions on seats, I don't want to spend more than 300 per seat and that is like maxed out budget, because i know i need brackets and sliders too, my stock seats are trash and really are making my car look quite crappy, the headrest speakers are broken so i wont miss those, i want something very dark probably all black, i was looking at some cipher seats on andys autosports but i dont know much about them honestly... also Sparco r100 but im not sure.. lol any suggestions are appreciated!

To keep the price down have you considered reupholstering the seats that way you can replace the speakers during the process as well? If you're looking for a good aftermarket seat that's not too expensive Corbeau A4(s) look to be a pretty good seat for that price point

If you're replacing both seats and want them to sit the same in the cabin, do yourself a favor and go remove the passenger seat today and see what you're facing.

Swapping the driver side is easy, the mounts are flat and basically symmetrical but the passenger side is much different...its inboard mount is higher, angled and further forward so it clears the cat hump in the transmission tunnel.
It'll help to be familiar with this as you look at different seat bases and imagine how you might mount them.

I have a set of mazaspeed seats ( probably knock offs) sitting upstairs with rails. I dont think I will ever get to use them I never even took them out of the boxes

Does anyone have the height and width one should be looking at to fit seats into a Vert? Having to move the seats forward and a top constantly try moving over them, I wouldn't want them to sit to tall. I'm looking at thethe typical name brands: Recaro, Bride, Sparco.

Any suggestions?
