I FINALLY found the perfect seat for my 1st gen project! I had to have the rotary headrest-thing! I have the passenger seat in my garage and, unfortunately it still has the airbag! I'll have to research the dismount trick before I stick it in there.
I have a simple pictorial write up with some engineering notes in regards to mounting the driver's side seat with minimal mods. If I can ever remember our Roadrunner homepage password, I'll try to post more details on my efforts.

 

Nice I like that.

 

How does it sit compared to stock? Higher? Lower?

I'm sure it would probably hold better, and it certainly looks better; so, good job. How much did you cough up for the pair?

 

Very nice.

I'm till debating between getting those or the corbeau's

http://www.corbeau.com/products/a4/a4.shtml

I can get both set's for about $600, but you just my have leaned me towards the rx8 seats.

 

dang thats one expensive mod haha... hope its worth it...

 

Seat height: Good as I am 5'11, and the seat is dropped down to lowest position. Awesome fit within the car and fits me great.
I managed to get the driver's seat from Ebay for $125 +$50 shipping and I picked up the passenger (that has the airbag) for $250. I picked up in Winston Salem. So, got them both for $425; not too bad as they were my top choice for replacement seats.
They are nice quality...and did I mention that they have rotary headrests? lol

 

how about the fit? was it hard to get them mounted?

 

geez 125 for the drivers seat isn't bad!

 

more info...more info!!...

 

That's really sharp!

They probably don't smell funny like my '85 seats either

 

dude!~ i know you want to sell me those suede turbo ii seats u have in there now!!!

 

Well, here are details for the first two fasteners. I'll make an effort to post a section for this project on our soon-to-be homepage when we get a new password. *chuckle* Somehow we lost our password.

 

That is nice, I want some!

 

Damn. I had a set just like those, and passed on them thinking they were gonna be too tall.
@!#$#
