you mean, taking out stock "leather" seats and putting in racing seats. I dont think its that hard, just order the seats they will come with directions.

dont go cheap on seats. If you get suttin like APC (haha) seats or suttin, itll hurt your back and they arent even good quality so youll be puttin safety on the line for "looks" Not a good thing to do.

Im not sayin go out and get BRIDE seats, not all of us can afford those, but get suttin thats good.

As the others said, get the sliders with the seats from the same co. Itll save you time and maybe even $.

Swapping out stock seats for aftermarket ones is easy.

Good luck

Crap...

Before you go naming every brand there is, do some searching and then cut the options down to like 3 seats, then post em up and we'll give our opinons about em.

Quality and affordable can't go in the same sentence. If you want quality you will have to pay. One of thes best and well known is Bride but that can get up to $1700 for 1 seat. Then you have Sparco and a few others that you might want to look at.

Most of us arent rich spoiled kids so i get where ur comin from by not bein able to get BRIDE seats.

As h22lude said, check out Sparco's line of seats. Recaro is another good one.

The best to get some seats, is to go to a swap meet or something at the tracks or w/e. I dunno if you can make it down to Racewaypark in Englishtown NJ but they always have deals there on GREAT Sparco & Recaro seats.

You can also check out your local performance parts store or w/e. Near me there is a Mothers car shop and they have deals on seats and other parts.

For affordable decent seats, check out corbeau.

Other good names are Kirkey, Cobra, Recaro, Sparco.

I wouldn't even waste my time looking at Brides. They seem to be the holy grail of the jdm tyte crowd. Let those idiots waste their money.

Yeah dammit! I bought a TenzoR seat and I haven't even put it in yet. So everyone wants the tenzoR wheels but no one really wants any other piece from tenzo out there. It seems like a good seat and I got it for under a $100. It cos t$125 for the bracket slider combo. I like the red/black seat thing, but the stock s13 seats feel like they hold fine on the sides.
