I see nothing wrong with stock TII seats either. I am just trying to replace my 10AE black leather seats at a decent price .. and with the least possible downtime. And the stealth seats are VERY classy. I will let you all know whats up with this whole deal tommorow I am going to look at them. Even though the drive in this weather is going to SUCK! Tommorow

 

Im the one that has the Dodge Viper seats in my car, these are the early model viper seats and have zero electronics...When I get some time I will take pics for all to see. I must say that these seats are super comfortable and look like they were made for the car.

 

What rail & mounting fabrications did you have to make?

 

Hmmm... let me see... The stock seats are...

- Heavy - at about 60 lbs each, for an S5 TII leather seat
- over-lumbarred - the lumbar supports in the S5 seats causes low back fatigue over long periods on time
- badly upholstered - you've seen TII seats, yes? Have you even seen one that wasn't torn to shreds or completely flattened or both?
- too high - if you're a tall driver, chances are, your head touches the headliner. I'm short and my helmet touches when I race.
- not adjustable - heck, even the GXL seats (which aren't much better) allow fore/aft x-axis adjustment of the seat bottom, and most new high-quality seats are 4-way adjustable.
- too short - the seat bottoms are much too short for high-performance driving; I say this, and I've got short legs!
- not aesthetically pleasing - face it, stock TII seats are thick and bulky looking... FD seats pwn!

...and that's just off the top of me head!

DAMN! I must be stronger than I thought, I can lift these over my head with ease.

Driven SF to LA and back with no stopping for back pain, unlike my old FD.

The set in the car I'm buying on Friday are mint, the set I have in my garage is mint, and the set that was on my old TurboII were mint. I've seen a lot of torn up zenki FC seats however. Mine are all kouki models.

I fit perfectly, 5'11 with helmet kinda tight though.

The other points I agree, but I think they're minor issues.

 

Since someone bumped this I will post my update; No new news yet, with preperation for the dyno this weekend, bad weather, and the installation of my HI-6 I didn't have a chance to look at those seats yet. But I called and they still have them and I plan to look at them this weekend ... weather and no emergencies permiting.


Engine before cosmetics is my method.
