rx 8 front seats in the fd?

Has anyone tried to change the fds seats with the rx 8's front seats yet? I just saw the rx 8 in person and I really like the front seats.Just thought it would look pretty bad *** in an fd.feel free to post opinions and info.Such as the prices per seat and if it would be feasible.

Prices for the seats I think are near $2k I think. I think you would be better off with sime Sparco or Corbeau.

There is already an old thread on this. The drivers side doesn't flip forward, and I think they are too wide anyway.

because they look pretty damn sweet.Especially the rotor built into the headrest.So they are too wide and too tall ehh? I guess ill measure the suckers when I go check an rx 8 again.Also jt imports did yo say you can get a set of rx 8 seats for only 600 bucks? or were you refering to sparcos or corbeau seats?

i like the RX-8 seats for sure, im not saying i dont. I just wouldnt like the fact that its very hard to run 5-points in them. Even the stock RX-7 seats can be fitted with a harness.
