I bought my 93 touring in 93 with 14K miles on it. The passenger seat has seen little use in the intervening years. I took a trip from Tucson to Phoenix recently with a friend at the wheel. I was a little startled to discover how much more comfortable that rather pristine seat passenger seat was to ride in. I guess my *** has worn it's contour into the drivers seat. Apparently the longer trip made this more apparent than a short ride about town. If you car is in a similar condition think about it the next time you put a trusted friend behind the wheel. While it makes me wonder what a new seat costs, I am pessimistic enough not to take the bother to ask the dealer.

 

well, you will have this thread moved for sure but i will tell you. a new seat from mazda starts at 2100 for the R series cloth. id love to see the price for the leather.

I called for pricing on new seats from Mazda and the parts guy said that Mazda doesn't sell the whole seat assembly anymore; they only sell covers to reupolster the ones you have. I don't think I spelled reupolster right.

interesting. if you can get me part numbers for the cloth in the r2's i will see what i can get them at. maybe i wont have to get the sparco's. what am i talking about, something cheap for an rx7. nah

i think its not the covering that makes the butt feels different
its more of the material or sponge that comfort the butt that makes the different.
Perhaps we can take out the sponge stuff and replace it...
Anyone did it?

The coverings are ridiculously expensive as well. I can, luckily, get parts at a "jobber" rate and even this was quite a bit. If you wanted to recover the whole seat you would have to order the bottom and the back as they sell them seperatly.

oh man, r u kidding? the passenger seat/space is so much smaller then the driver seat, its not even funny! are you talking about the actually seat or the sitting space?
