Every place I've check has the same price. I think $499 is going to be just about everywhere unless you catch a sale.


As for mounting:

Personally, I wouldn't put seats in the car that don't recline, but there are quite a few people that use these types of seats for everyday use.

The Type-R uses Recaro seats. I think they are specially made for Mazda, not sure on that. I think they are fixed seats as well:

Those recaro seats are nice but.... $$$7400 for a pair I would have to go with a reclining seat since I am so tall.

Several seat makers have seats like those (and don't cost as much)...

However another thing to consider besides not being able to recline are the width of the seats. Most of the racing "like" seats don't fit people with waist sizes over 34 very well (it at all)...

... those particular Recaros aren't like most other aftermarket seats... the inside leg - hip bolster is smaller to accomodate the very small tub in the RX7. There's also the seat belt loop at the outside shoulder and the seat belt latch is attached to the rails.
