NOPI has generic adjustable racing seats for like 100 bucks a piece. Its either those or go for broke (litteraly) and get some sparco's or Bride seats, but those run at least $400-$500 A PIECE.

if you want an affordable REAL racing seat, you will only pay about 700-750 shipped for a pair of corbeau a4's with brackets.. i have this setup in my 240sx. they are very nice seats!

i don't think i need something that's meant for REAL racing, seeing as how my car isn't a REAL race car. just something with some lateral support that's comfortable and will last for a while.

then nex technology seats are pretty comfy, i had a set i was gonna put in the accord, but ended up selling them to a friend. i can get a pair shipped for 230 (wholesale cost) without brackets...
could probably hook a frend up for 250-280 id have to ask my buddy

i'd want to see a picture, and know some more about the seats (dimensions and weight) before buying a pair. what would be involved in getting them to fit?

to get them too fit id have to measure them and let you know the dimension and you would either have to a) call around and see which real brand bracket will work (i know recaros dont fit close, but can be modified) or you can build your own brackets if you are creative, or you could take it to a metal fab shop, the 3g seat bolt pattern is pretty simple and im sur eyou could have someone measure and make you a bracket out of some 1/8 steel

i think i might go for some like these (http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?MfcISAPICommand=ViewItem&item=7946577308). I might be able to get them for a local pickup price of $180, but i'll have to talk to the vendor. I'm always open to suggestions though.
