Ok, so everybody owning an FD knws it's very hard to find an aftermarket seat that fits because of the limited seat width.

Now what would be other OEm seats that could fit, keeping the original design in mind?

Examples:
1. Miata seats?
2. Porsche 928, 968 seats?


i'm looking for stripped seats (FD,Miata,Porsche) that will fit without a question (seat width speaking) to build some thing I got in mind.

I want OEM frames as a base as I consider seats as an important safety part and don't want to give in on that aspect. I want to make a reclinable sport seat based on OEM seat framing

Thanks in advance

The Spirit R Recaros fit perfect. But they're $$$.

are they reclineable? Looking at pictures of them, it they seem to be one pieced seats.

The thing is I made a mould of a Sparco Rev seat about 2 years ago and it's still here.
As it is a 2 pieced mould I can make the seat piece and back piece separately.

Fitting them to an OEM frame would make it the perfect seat from my point of view.

Remember seeing a fd with M3 seats. They look very nice and i have always wanted to get them but the price is ridiculous. Anyways so you know.....
Cheers mate.

torino and milanos dont actually fit ideally, they will rub the doors quite a bit.

Speedworks

Yep, I know they all do... M3 seats are pretty nice and probably more available here in europe, but they have not the sidewalls I want on mine.

Anybody know of Miata seats fit the FD seat frame?

I have 02 corvette seats, not the z06 seats as the z06 seats are very stiff, but the sport coupe seats are amazing and comfortable! Good for long trips.

Not on my computer, I havent had any time to take any pics of my car, the look great though!

Sorry to pull this back from the past, but could you post some pics of the seats?

if you are refering to me - those seats are long gone, back to stock seats for now.

I now have the Sparco Roadster II's and I love them. It took some fitting time but they are the best and an affordable alternative for the RZ's.

new version bride brix, yes as they are narrow then the previous versions...but good luck on the torinos and milanos (which are slightly wider than the torinos)

Bride Low-Max. Recommended fit for the FD. And no rubbing. Fully reclining with a carbon fiber back.

Speedworks

Does Bride offer brackets for the FD? side or bottom mount? Either for reclinable or full race seats?

Englishbull

Anyone interested I might be selling my RZ Carbon Fiber seats. Please PM as I don't want to highjack this thread.





$2600 for the pair.

If I wasn't so broke

Bride offers full sliding brackets for the Low-Max/other reclinables and side mount for their racing buckets, all specifically for the FD.
