wats up rob i seen your car in person with those seats deff looks sick in the FC

 

yes i can agree!!!

just ordered my seat brackets from wedge last thursday =]

should be ready for pick up this week i hope.. i want my mazdaspeed seats in so BAD!! haha

 

see if you can tilt them a little bit if you got the same as mine, the knees part is the same height as stock but the seat sits a little flatter where the stock FC seat is on a slight angle.

I was going to give it to my upholstery guy over the winter but blew the project off

 

ill let you know just picked them up today in long beach, and just assembled them earlier today... will install them and take pictures

 

May I ask where you perchased you'r floor mats ? they look great .

 

I bought them from a forum member, but last time I referred someone to him he said he does not sell them anymore

they are just "lloyd" mats, any custom website can order them, I just liked giving my business to a forum member. They are 40oz mats

 

You have the cleanest interior, EVER!

 

hey i just mounted my seats and yeah i can notice right away its not the same.. its way to flat and sits a lot higher than stock... not really dinging the way the sit.. and to add to that the brackets i got from wedge dont even mount/line up perfectly.. driver side front right bolt is completely off by half an inch (ill take a pic later on) and the passenger back right bolt is off by a few mm's...

and i the driverside is about and inch lower than the passenger side =[ not happy with the install

 

the leg part itself is the same, its the *** part that is higher. It also takes some getting used to because the original seats had no padding left in them. After a few trips I have gotten used to it but again I already said I had wanted to try to get the *** part a little lower but did not bother this winter.

If you are really tall it could be a issue, the seat also has a tilt adjustment

Are you bolts off for the seat or for where the bracket mounts to the floor?


I just checked your thread, your seats are totally different then mine so I cant see how it relates to my install other then they both say Mazdaspeed?

 

Your interior is beautiful. Amazing work. +1

 

here are a couple of pics of my new mazdaspeed seats I got for a steal $300 bucks!!!!

test fit

bracket fabrication













now I'm working on the passenger side... and I will take the frames to the shop to wold the steel and remove the bolts...but for now its really strong and the ride feels great!

 

wow i hate you!!! lol where do you get these good deals on these MS seats MAN!! haha

$300 is a damn steal for those!

hows the clearance with the doors??? any rubbing?

 

it clears the doors fine, the side bolsters hit the plastics a little at full recline, and if you are very tall you may not like that your butt is a inch or so higher then stock vert seats.
The legs are the same but the butt part is higher

 

and the drivers seatbelt is stuck in between the seat and the slot where it comes out of...but only in the one position that I like it in of course....I got them off ebay the guy was selling them for 499 plus 149 shipping so I made him a offer for 200+149 shipping and he rejected it...then a couple of days later he emailed me and said 300 but I had to pick them up from new jersey...so 2 tolls and a half of a tank and 1.5 hours later I had them...I wasnt going to let that pass!!!!now on to the install of the passenger side this weekend.

 

good work man

 

Looks awesome man!

 

Hey how did those homemade brackets work out? I'm getting a set of these this weekend and putting them in my t2

 

Seats looks gorgeous and as everyone has said the painted trim pieces are slick!

 

me? I didnt make them but the seats have obviously been in my car for a few years now, everything seems good

 

Will Mazdaspeed seats for in my 1st gen rx7 I need new seats and would rather them bolt straight in

 

A little late to the party...

Those seats look awesome!

But if they are higher than the stock vert seats then my head would be through the roof. I am 5'11" and my head damn near touches the roof with the stock vert seats.

 

Maybe ask in the 1st gen section
