Bride = pooooooooooop.
Crap quality, and they are designed for the ahem, the smaller male. My 6'5 frame sits on top of the bolsters.

I went for racetech's because they are well made and light. Rumor mill has it that sparco quailty isn't what it used to be either. Cobra surprisingly does make a good seat.

Here are my racetechs with head restraint option.

lol ok i should have looked a lil closer, well in that case, get the s4 seats and remove the motors and the bottom of the seat frame and replace it with a mechanical one. it would take some fabrication but it can be done. heres a nice big pic of em

I disagree with the quality statement. And most of their seats now fit us fat Americans.

Those seats you have would be ridiclous for daily driving. I have a Corbeau Forza in my car and it's isn't too bad, but i'd def like a reclinable seat. Also, my roomate had a pro2000 in his SC it was a nice seat but it was all business much like yours are. I think given the choices he is looking for something stylish.

You can always try Sparcos or my favorite Corbeau. Get them to match your interior.

Just to let you all know. We can technically pattern some racing buckets so that you didnt have the aweful hideous red standing out so much. Instead, you could have a factory leather style racing bucket in your car. Make it look like it came stock with racing buckets. We have done it a few times now with Mustang owners and the like and it turns out really good. It would just take time, patience, and some extra money but we can get it done.

I was going to get black if I go the bride route....red is horrible on a sc...maybe on a evo but not a sc. So I have seen that you have the 2 tone suede seat covers on your site. Do you make these for the SC? and how much?

Also if I go this route since I have soarer seats is there any physical difference between them and SC seats?

All the soarers I have seen and sold to have had the exact same seats at the SC seats. We do make a leather/suede combo for the SC seats so if you are wanting to stick with the soarer seats and do leather/suede then we can definitely make it happen. Retail price on those is right around $765.00 however we should be having a group buy in a few weeks and that could dramatically reduce the price if enough people join. So far all the group buys we have done on ClubLexus have been very successful.
