I have a pair of R1 seats...but personally, I like the touring leather seats better. Would it be a stupid idea to trade the my R1 seats with someone else's tan or black touring seats????

 

Not a stupid idea, but most people would want the opposite. The R1 seats tend to you better while cornering. But ****, if you want the slippery leathers go nuts. Its your choice. Im sure if you posted this in the forsale section you would get somebody to do the swap.

 

I'll trade if your seats are in good shape....

 

See, I told ya somebody would be willing to do it.

 

**** i cant stand the leather seats anymore. Doesnt feel right anymore. Leather is for luxury, r1 for fun IMO. lol

 

yeah the R1 seats are in almost perfect condition.....but I am still debeting if I wanna trade them...since the shipping is gonna cost me some....and Cgotto6 is right.... i have a friend who also owns a touring FD....the leathers don't work too good while cornering...but for sure..if i decide to trade them i will let you guys know...

 

Or let me know if you want to just sell them. Im looking for a pair.

 

Personally, I always thought the whole statement behind the R-1 seat material was a joke (not that I think it is bad material) and there is a somewhat of a "cool factor" to say that is why they are made that way, but let's be real, just how far can you slide left or right on the seats in these cars?

Think about it,

dont r1 seats grip our body better since theyre not slippery like leather?

 

I guess I'm the only fan of base seats...

 

me too!!

 

what kinda material they used for base seats?

 

I have a R1 and a touring and I am looking for the R1 seats. I have even bought a super nice set of after market seats and they are better than leather but I am a big guy so the R1 helps me out and holds me in better. I will trade for your just shoot me an emal or PM. Halfshaft5@aol.com

sDylish,

Base seats are cloth (as opposed to the "suede-esque" material used for the R1 seats.

There is on type/patter on the seat inserts and a different cloth / pattern on the bolsters / top of the seat.

I like them since they grip better than the leather, don't burn you when they get hot in the sun, and the price was right for me :-) I just re-skinned the seats myself with the seat skins (I had tan leather before).
