They look a bit smaller to me. Maybe it's just the color that makes it look smaller?

I looked at them yesterday by my work place, and I didn't like em either. They look similar to SC seats, but they have additional side and seat support like racing seats do. I also don't like them because they're quite huge.

i wish i could have some high end, leather seats in my car. The only problem is not only price but headroom (im 6'5" BTW). When i was rockin stock seats my head touched the ceiling so i angled my head to fit in the sunroof area. Got the Supra seats (powered driver seat) and now i have the room and then some. I wish i could buy a set of seats with the assurance that I can fit in them without sacrificing head room and comfort. From what i've gathered i could look for a seat and seat bracket that are designed for the Supra, but it may or may not take away my headroom. Any advice?

You know what? You should definitely get some racing seats. Those Supra ones you're using, they do sit pretty low, but I'm sure there are after-market ones that sit even lower. If worse comes, you better get a different car bro. Sht, I'm 5"11 and my head barely touches the ceiling already. Imagine 6"5, WHOA...

No, the supra seats have been my best mod by far. They do need a little TLC to match the interior and all, but they work great. The SC seats i had all the way down, but they didn't go down far enough. Now with the supra seats i can sit back and not worry about bumping my head if i hit the wrong bump. And i love my car and im not going to change for a very long time, even if gas goes to $5 a gallon ![Cool](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/cool.gif)

And I'm also keeping my ride, because I love the way it drives. I can afford a better car, but I just don't want to drive anything else. SC's can talk!

How about these seats guys? Here are the dimensions. - Outer shoulders 22"
- Outer lower back 21.5"
- Outer seat 21"
- Outer floor 18"
- Outer adjusting ***** 21"
- Seat weight of 32lbs
Will they fit?

You know what really sucks? Once you've made up your mind to replace something on your car, you kind of feel bad about it afterwards. Does anybody get that feeling? I don't know why I'm having second thoughts of keeping my seats, especially with the memory seat function, beautiful leather, excellent condition, god it's tough! Plus, you know how tough it is to get a hold of good condition SC seats.

i got an update...
a buddy of mine has an s13 with an ls1 and he needed a more track friendly seat. he traded me his brand new, comfortable Recaro replicas(2 seats), and 50 bucks cash for my JIC seat. AND i got to keep my mounting bracket and slider![Smilie](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif)
i got the JIC with the sliders and all for 80 bucks. so after this deal i got 2 new seats for 30 bucks technically, plus the bracket and slider.
i found some mint stock seats for DIRT cheap so im selling that pair to my buddy to put in his s13 convertible![Smilie](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif)

I ordered the racing seats already, and they should arrive in a couple of days. I'm also going to removed the memory seat switch, and bondo the hole since my wood trim is already painted silver. It'll look like a stock 1 piece trim. Be on the look out for my stock leathers, possibly on Ebay soon! And SC owners with racing seats, please post some more pictures..
