You get a reclining seat for the passenger and a bucket for the driver. In the same color/brand, both seat will match.

QUOTE (LarryMcFly)
A bucket is not necessarily stotionary, as it has nothing to do with the seat. It depends on if you use sliders or not on your tracks. Reclinig seats offer good support over stock, and bucket offers better support than reclining. The major difference is at the hips. A reclining seat cannot offer has much surface because it needs room to fold forward. The way a bucket is made also makes the seat more like a box. A reclinig would be ___/ and a bucket |_____|.

Well dont coupes need reclining seats, unless someone dosent use the rear seats at all?

QUOTE
And the weight limit is 220 on their seats. Sorta low.


keep in mind if u weigh like 200lb's and you hit a bump at like 50mph thats like 250lb's pushing against the seat though right?

^^Dude, look on the first page, a few posts down. Someone did mention bride but they arent made for our cars.

Im personally going for either Torinos or Milanos (Sparco). It really doesnt bother me to spend upwards of $1000 on seats. I think of them as furniture for my car, and since they are used everyday they are not something I wanna cheap out on.

I think my price on these are somewhere around 200 a seat. Mine were a gift from a friend in the industry, and came with sliders, but no brackets. Have tons of fun playing with that. I spent a good 18-20 hours from start to finish with machining, cleaning, machining, cleaning, measuring, machining, and finally a some sanding on those sharp corners and a few layers of paint.

All I know is matched with my coilovers and strut bars, taking a 90 degree turn somewhere around 50mph feels really nice when the cars starting to slide, but you aren't.

I have the Tenzo Rally Type seats in gray and black, matched with Sparco Clubman 4 point harnesses.

On the topic of replacing the stock seats with buckets... does the component where you stick your seatbelt buckle in come attached to the actual seats of the RD2 coupe? or is it connected to the floor of the car?
