I'm looking for an aftermarket seat thats relatively cheap and light. Dont care whether it reclines or not (actually prefer one that does not). I cant justify $300 and up for a damn seat.

Check out the DAD seats. Comfortable and fit easily

Rx7carl

Got any links to a vendor or the mfg?

About the cheapest you'll find, with decent quality, will be the Corbeau seats.

Rx7carl

Well then maybe Ill just get a pair of Kirkey Aluminum seats then. Thanks for the help though.

For a non-reclinable seat, the NEX seats are a good deal. I have read that they weigh from 11.7lbs. to 17lbs., I don't know what the real weight is but I read a reveiw of them in a import mag and they claimed the weight being 11.7lbs. and a seat that is made a little wider. I bought Sparco Speed seats before and they were way to tight for me since I drive my fd daily and I weigh about 190lbs and about 5'8 in height. Here is a link for them. I would search around. At one time I found them for just under $400 shipped with mounting brackets. Hope that helped.

If you cheap out on seats, you will either get shitty support and have problems with your seating position/posture or the material will wear down quickly and they will look like ****. I've had a few sets of seats and finally payed what I should for some for my other car and the only regret I have is wasting money on all the other seats I ever bought.

Thanks for the reply. The Nex seats look about like what Im after. If anyone who reads this actually has used them please provide info on your experiences.

Yeah, the NEX seats look really nice. Also, try these couple links out:
Corbeau Forza-

Mazdaspeed Racing Seats-

cheap does not equal good value

Why would you cheap out on the seat when that is your primary interaction with the vehicle? The Corbeau Forza is a good competition seat for those with 30+ inch waists, but it would really suck for daily use. If you want a good supportive seat that you can actually drive around in regularly, the Corbeau CR-1 is nice.

BTW, those Mazdaspeed seats on EBAY aren't authentic, I can't believe that guy has gotten away with it for so long.

WHIPSrx7

Thanks for the tip rynberg! I might be buying the Forza's because it's not my daily driver, but those NEX seats look really nice! May have to give those a try...

blacksupra94

I have corbeau seats. Very comfterable and affordable.

WHIPSrx7

blacksupra94: How tall are you and how much do you weigh please? Also, what seats are you talking about? The Forza's or some other kind?

Thanks,

Craig

I'll respond for blacksupra. He is about 5'10" maybe 160lbs. I've also sat in these seats before and I agree that they are very comfortable. They hug you a lot more than the stock ones do and I am 6'3" 185lbs

BOOSTD 7

My Corbeau Forza's exceeded expectations. My Dad and I had no problems driving back from Spokane Washington to St Louis in them ... even though he had some issues climbing in and out of the cage.

I would definately reccomend the Forza's for seats on the cheap.

BOOSTD 7

Actually, if you are interested, I might sell you my pair of yellow Forza's ... I'd rather go blue for my interior. Maybe :scratches head:

WHIPSrx7

LOL I would definitely take you up on that offer BOOSTD 7, but I'm looking to get black seats to match my interior. I have a Black R1 and I want to keep the "look" the same. Thanks for the offer though. Also, do you think those Forza's in the link were a good deal? And also, since you have 4642 posts and you've been around for over 3 years, I was wondering if you have any idea how much I could get for a pair of R1 Seats??? The passenger seat is in perfect condition and the driver's seat just has a wear spot on the side (from getting in). Thanks,

Craig
