stock seats
Whats up guys? I have an 85GSL-SE FB and am going to install some FD seats cuz they look damn clean. Anyways, I know nothing about the seats and have done some searching. What seats are the most comfortable and best style? I know that on the FB the cloth seats were actually more comfortable and built better than the SEs, so ya. I do not care if they are in shitty shape and if the leather is cracking. If I pick up some cloth seats I will reupholster them with leather, if they are leather, well I am going to reupholster them anyways 
Thanks for any input because im about to start searching for some seats. Thanks alot. Also what might be some other suggestions for interior or interior swap. I am going to customize my interior and the look I am going for is current style. I am going to keep the sexy FB shape and make a few mods and do the same with the interior except spice it up. Thanks again.
EDIT:
I have no worries about the custom mounts because I can do that.

Three styles of seats -- base model seats are cloth, R1/R2 model seats are grippy synthetic suede-like material, and then there's the (slippery) leather seats. All are built the same.You can usually pick up a used pair in decent condition for about $400+shipping. Mint conditions pairs go for as high as $800+shipping. Replacement leather covers from www.leatherseats.com are $600 IIRC.

damn those are hot. Thanks for the link! I was also looking at the inside doors of the FD and my jaw dropped. I was wanting to redesign my 7s door panels and think that I have found my awnser. I am going to see about fitting those onto my doors and making it work. I think my other dislike about the FB is the center console(which I am working on ideas right now) and the gauges. With those I think that I may paint or put on some custom gauges, put some chrome, and prolly will put a small ring around the gauges, sort of like the RX8.
