How much of a pain in the *** was the install? Weight difference between FD and rx8 seats?

 

i didnt actually scale them but i will say this. these are not a performance mod. they are heavier but probaly bececause of the way i chose to install them.

i have more pics but i need to scale them down to post them. basically i have the fd seat rails attached to the 8 seat rails. each seat has 4 of 5 bolts holding them to the chasiss

 

Thats looks really good. I like

 

can you still move them around, ive been thinking about doing this for a bit now

 

yes although your limited to how far back the seat will go. im 5'8 and it fits me fine.

 

and thats the case with the stock seats anyways! and good places to get the seats from?

 

I love the seats in an FD, i couldnt imagine swapping them out for a heavier seat....
But if i was gonna do this swap, i think i would opt for some two tone leather seats.

 

i just love the rotor shape in the 8's, i cant imagine them weighing MUCH more, i guess if youre hardcore about weight though..

 

i got mine off ebay $400

yea, like i said, its not a performance mod by any means, the comfort factor was 10x more important to me in addition to the fact my seats were a nasty tan leather.

i also look at it this way...for every 100lbs i add i'll add .1 in the quater mile....i really doubt i added more than 25lbs to the car so im not really concered about that .025 seconds...

 

Wanna do a wright up on how you put these in?
