Has anyone tried the APC seats? Jegs.com had them in an ad for $149.99 ea with free shipping and we installed them in a rod project we were doing and they looked and felt good. Don't know if they will fit in a 7.

ouch... see I was perfectly happy not thinking of that. Makes you smell law suit. Some insurance company's lawyer would definatey try to use that against someone...

Total was $340.99 after shipping. This is for 2 seats, and 2 harnesses. Like I said, they should be in tuesday, so I will post pics and more info then.

Looks like the link posted is pretty decieving
1) Title says seats (plural), auction appears to be only one seat though
2) Shipping $11? phht!?
3) I couldn't deal with turning that damn wheel whenever I wanted the seat to recline :/

My seller was the same one as on the link sub9lulu
posted. Yes , the shipping price is decieving, it lists it as $11 in the ad, but at the bottom where the shipping price is listed, it is $95, which is what he charges. Still though, less than $350 shipped for a set of decent looking seats isnt bad at all. No they arent a name-brand, but as long as they hold me in, thats all Im looking for.

sport compact car did a really great review of like 75 seats, they tested support, comfort, construction, all sorts of things in all different sizes of people, you could probably order a back issue

I really like the solid black suede and shape of them.

I just bought a pair of these and just came out of the garage a little worried. With the weird slope of our floor these seats lean somewhat but the real kicker is that the height is really high, I removed the 1/2" spacers on the outside between the seats and the sliders and that seemed to balance out the lean but I am still sitting noticeably higher than stock, I looked out the windsheild on the side with the new seat sitting on my floorboard and I sat about 1.5 - 2 inches higher than factory,... I felt like a dork. Has anyone figured out how to lower the seats, or do you have to hammer down the floor rails that the factory seats sat on? I hate to think of the hammer idea but I am stumped at the moment.
P.S. These are the identical APC seats described in the first post...... but mine are blue. :-)
