Actually they are VERY cheap, I was suprised what you can get Used by new condition ones for.

I heard they fit, but no actual confirmation on that.....

The RX-8 seats are comfortable and supportive. Even all-day trips are good.
The pass. side seat folds forward, slides, and reclines. The drivers seat is a power seat with recline, but it does not fold forward. Seat bottom is 21" width. There is a max. width that will fit in the 3rd gen, but I don't remember what it is.

I have the "Base" cloth seats in my 3rd gen, and the problem with them is the bolsters on the seat bottom are too high, with too narrow a width between them (or my *** is to fat . This makes them "2hr" seats.

Thanks..
I would really like to see the 8 seats in the 7.. seats are much nicer.. but I bet they weigh quite a bit.. usually the motorized seats are heavy..
Stock FD seats are paper weight compare to my Acura Legend seats..

Sorry, I have the RX-7 3rd gen base seats. I was basically complaining about the comfort (or lack thereof).
