Some pics of my '91 TII project
Bought my new toy in April with a blown motor. It spent the next few months getting rebuilt, a FMIC, and various other goodies. I managed to put 1500 easy miles on it before diving in with some more minor mods. Hoping to have it back up and running this week so I can finish breaking her in and see what she can really do.

When they cut in the air inlets they just marked em off and used a drum sander with 80 grit to clean em up. I've since put aluminum mesh behind the inlets as well as in front of the IC to help protect them.

The harness is mounted through a couple of holes that were actually predrilled in the rear deck. I have no idea what they were for but I'm guessing they had to do with the 2+2 setup. I just popped the rubber plug out, drilled em a little bigger, threw a big washer on went with it.

Those are SA-90's in all their glory! Not many ppl seem to know much about Weds, which makes them all the more appealing to me.
my dad's 240Z has some old school Weds wheels on it. they are really nice.

They still sat a little tall so I notched the mounting brackets - I used Corbeau's - and trimmed them down a bit. I am back to stock height on the drive side and maybe just a tad taller on the passenger side. The side bolsters are super supportive now that the bottome cushion is lower too.

According to Weds website (www.weds.co.jp) they are available in 15x7, 16x7, 16x8, and 17x7.5 as well.
I paid around $1400 for the set but I'm pretty sure I got a really good deal.

The seats don't rub anywhere - fit really nicely from that perspective actually.
They are the CR-1's. I sat in some A4's after I found out about the height problem and they didn't fit me at all. They are really narrow and the side bolsters have a bar under them that isn't very well padded. I'm pretty skinny and I thought they were terribly uncomfortable.
See below pic for the dimensions
