Hey guys, I was thinking about buying the cheap ebay racing seats and the apc mounting brackets, has anyone tried this? Hows the fitment? Hows the install? Thanks

Don't get the cheap ebay seats. They're trash.

Depends on the seat. If it's a bucket seat, then I'm pretty sure you can use the side mount rails that APC offers (if any).

Have you tried them? Where is a good place to get some seats that recline and are not crap?

S14 seats or if you can find a set S15 or Skyline Seats if you can find them. I think I've seen the latter done before. If you go this route adn decide you want the imported seats I'd just call some of the sponsors who import a bunch of stuff about finding some.

I live in England and I might be able to find some used Skyline or Silvia seats from a Breaker yard (junk yard). I can guarantee they won't be cheap since the conversion rate is terrible right now and shipping will be pretty steep. If your interested I can see what I can find and get back to you.

dont get crappy ebay seats, because i and probably the majority of people that arent idiots consider them to be unsafe, sparco has some super nice seats that are reclinable, so does corbeau, and recaro, and stock S14 and S15 seats are pretty nice as well.
