Yes, Speed Industry near me sells them. If you're not 130lbs don't bother. They are SUPER skinny. I tried sitting in them for lulz, they are tiny.

etc.


I can vouch for the Otto-Rs, I had a set for a little bit, sold them so I could buy my spare engine. Now I'm getting the gray/black Tenzos.

Buckets? The non-adjustable crap? Plenty to choose from, uncomfortable.

never get a non-adjustable in a daily or frequent driver. no one does, lol. the only reason you'd get non adjustable is if they are super light when your car is totally stripped for drag racing, because it's lame to not be able to adjust your sitting angle lol

ProCarParts.com sells seats for $200-250 ish area shipped for a pair. Tenzos are typically $430-600 shipped for a pair. You can get generic racing seats on eBay for 250-300 usually.

Things are all across the board. Recaros can be $1200+ no problem. I like Tenzos a lot.

i dunno, you pretty much always have to do custom stuff. welding on a strip of metal and/or drilling holes to line up with the seats' holes. i'm having mine installed by a shop along with my takata harnesses.

i'm happy with my stockers.....they're supportive, comfy, and adjustable. best of all, they match my interior and hide stains with their velvety fabric! lol

Shophyperformance.com

That is where I got my set of BOMZ seats from. It was $275 shipped to my door. All I had to do was use the stock bracket and make metal strips to line up the holes. Extremely comfortable and durable.

harnesses are terrible in a vehicle you're actually going to drive often.
my truck had 'em and i switched 'em out for stock seatbelts with the quickness.

it's illegal to remove the stock stuff. takata bolts replace the stock bolts; it just adds an eye loop so the harnesses can clip onto. you can use either one when you drive, it's not like the harnesses are going to be the only thing in there.
