wow, don't really want to try to read that, but yeah, s14 seats are a pretty good upgrade.

I still want a bucket though, its just nice to get rid of the terrible s13 cloth material. I'm looking to buy a rear s14 seat to match, so if anyone has a zenki s14 SE backseat I'm interested.

I found a set in the junkyard for $50 about three months ago. Just the fabric ones ...major improvement over the s-13's. ..love the lumbar support!!....The seats do seem to get you a little sweaty on really hot days with no a/c. ..Other than that they are very comfortable and soooo easy to put in!

The s14 backseats will not work. The back will with some modification, but the bottom (butt) part will not. The foam is a completely different shape.

And yes, s14 front seats are a BIG upgrade.

You have to fab up some brackets. Basically just extending the bottom because the s14 seat back is more narrow than the s13 ones. Not really that difficult.

But the seat bottoms aren't even close.

It looks worse. The bottom is narrower, hence the needing for those brackets. The only reason for doing it would be to match to the s14 seats. But since the bottom can't be used it kinda defeats the purpose now doesn't it?
