They are very comfy, plus they will keep you in there really tight. A bit lower than stock , but that makes it feel sportier

Yep 6th gen Celi. Got a set of grays in my GF's AE92. I don't really feel hugged by them though and I'm a bigger guy (6'1" 230lbs). But local Pull a part only wanted $16.50 each so I didn't complain.

nice upgrade, i worked with a guy with a horrible looking civic and he had those exact 3A racing seats in his car, they felt so bad to sit in! those celica seats match pretty good, definetly a upgrade IMO.

$40 each, they were in great condition. At first i wanted the black ones but they only had blue ones ,but they were all rusted up.So i went with tan,and i'm planning to dye them later on down the line.

Red and black ones were generic 3A seats. They were OK ,but without AC, I was overheating ,lol (vinyl)

You will not believe me, but they feel around 25 lb's they are very light. They are lighter than the 3A seats...imagine that!

I like the way they look, but I would I would think the original ones are more comfortable for longer rides. JMO, but they look good in there.. Waiting on the pictures of the welding.
