I can`t say enough about how bad these seats are. Not to mention I need some either S14 or S15 seats. Since I have seen the difference between the seats I really want S15. How can I get some seats and not pay a fortune for them. I have so many more things I want to do to this car. Thanks to NICO I now want some 180 tail lights too! Dam this car is so addictive!!

I actually like the seats in my s13. If you don't, post an ad up in the classifieds and search junkyards for something you do.

hmmm, first person I have seen to not like the feel of the s13 seats. Is your butt really hard or way to soft. j/k.

no side supports? what do you call the little side things on the seats other than side supports, those do pretty good for me. those have the different material than my s13 seats do, but same inner components. Found this pic in the forums

the sides on mine were just soft worn out foam that just folded over, all I know is that my S14 seats hold me alot more snug, and a bride zeta III didnt let me move anywhere.

heres what you do to make once peice seats amazing (2 piece are worthless) zip open the back, take out the top "spring" and then use a breaker bar or something to pinch the sides in. it will feel so much better.

The Hatch Back has the hard cloth on the seat!

But my Coupe came with the soft Cloth which is very very comforable. Better then the S14 SE seat I have in it right now. I wish I keep the Org S13 seats I had!

I want new seats for my RMS13. I got the one peice,they are okay I geuss but I got hurt pretty bad in a VERY minor accident due to it moving around so much. I want the look of racing seats too,plus after I cage her I can put in racing harness'. But I can't afford the prices that the sparcos,corbeu,momos's....etc are :(

Anybody try the APC ,Meagen Racing or Tenzo R ones in an S13..? (lol I know...don't flame me) Height concern for it. I'm 6' and 170lbs,so I'm not very big,but I don't want to be on the ceiling either,lol.

I am having trouble finding any seats in a junk yard I would like to get either s14 or s15 seats. I know I won`t find the S15 in a junk yard but hope somebody knew where I might can find them. Yes I do think those S13 seats are uncomfortable. I thought about redoing the seats but there is no side support.
