Question Stock Leather TII seats?

I have searched and searched and searched, I like the look of the stock leather seats for our cars but my drivers side seat cannot be recovered as it is wrecked the previous owner didn't take too good car of the interior. But now I want another seat for it. But I would like to keep the stock ones. Does anybody have any tips hints or advice or any and or all kinds welcome. the side bolsters are wrecked the leather is ripped, and the springs on the underside are supper weak and saggy!

I have searched for a good second option short of buying aftermarket seats. Now from the dealership one seat is 1274.00 CND!!! WTF?

Also I want good safe seats, cheap ebay ones don't cut it for me! I want a seat which is apporved by a credible safety council like CSA! But would still like to keep them stock.

Also all of the used seats are pretty much in the same condition.

1sxyrxy: Would you care to elaborate a little more on what you have done to rebuild the bolsters, and what about the springs? Do you have any pictures of your seats?

I have been trolling the parts trader for some time as well.

Thanks Icemark for the mazdasurplus site. I Had never heard of it before
