Don't waste time hating him. I have some leather S14 seats that I can't stand! :( Here in FL...once those seats heat up, its almost impossible to get cool again. Its not high quality leather that breathes...its low quality leather and I'd love to trade them for cloth S14 seats. The cloth seats in my 200SX are much better. I think the ones in the S14 are similar to the ones in my 200SX.

my corbeau forza went in in about 10 minutes, including taking out the old seat, and it is ridiculously comfortable. not too expensive either, and corbeau makes rails so its easy to install by yourself.

I just re did my seats and made them put a little more cushion for the lower back, for the price of re doing all the seats including the rear and doors, you cant go wrong. The guy charged me 200. I believe thats how much one seat costs without rails. Ill get pics soon.

my friend with a '90 put s14 seats in his car, and gave me his old ones. i opened up the driver's side one and removed all 3 springs from the backrest and bent the side bolsters in and put it all back together. i like it that way way more than my stock 91 seat

I don't see how to bend the side bolsters in, or how that affects anything. I don't want to break anything, please clarify.

i took all the foam off and whacked em in with a hammer. makes the seat a lot more snug and i feel much more confident on corners since i don't slide around as much.

the S14 seats are the best seats ive ever sat in. The best part about the seats is how they are kind of modeled after racing seats and hold you in pretty good. Way more comfortable than my friend's 94 honda prelude. Another thing i love about the seats is how they feel to bare skin when you have your shirt off. It feels like silk or something. Definetely a plus when coming home from the lake. I was very upset when my friend put a small cigerette burn in the passenger seat. :mad:

I haven't driven my S14 yet, but I love the way the seats sit. They have a race seat type feel and look. Even some of my friends have asked me if they were aftermarket or from something else. I have never seen seats like these in any other lower end import sports car.:icon18

So where do the S14 seats come from? Sorry if someone already posted that answer, but do they come from a newer year 240sx or another model altogether? Never heard of a Nissan S14, but then again I don't know all that much about cars.

Thanks in advance.
