Has anyone ever tried to install these seats?

Has anyone here ever tried to install these seats in a 240Z:

I am not sure that I want them, but comparing that price to the cost of re-doing my existing seats, it doesn't look bad.

(Existing seats == 30 years of neglect and bad storage...)

Just asking...

It looks very much like one in MSA's catalog. With $80 in shipping for this e-bay auction, you might want to compare their pricing.

I have been considering the same thing as you, but am partial to the style of the original seats when in new condition they look awesome.

However I do like the racing style seat I think you need to make measurements of height and width go from there. Brackets and be easily fabricated I have a friend with this style but they arn't very adjustable might be annoying for u dunno.

Actually, if you read the fine print that $248 price is for (2) seats, at least I think that is what is says, so that is about 1/2 of what Motorsport is asking, even after shipping.

Not that I have $328 burning a hole in my pocket... A hole in my pocket yes, but that is mostly from buying parts to restore my Z...

:stupid:

Ah, I missed the one line that says:

One Bid = One "Pair" of Racing Seats and "Free Universal Sliders"

That does make it a somewhat better deal. :classic: .

The only advise I can offer, based on my experiences with different seats, is.........If you are a tall person and don't want your head right next to the headliner, purchase seats that have suspended type butt cushions (like the original Z seats). A lot of aftermarket seats use a shell and the butt cushion sits on the shell. By the time you install sliders on these type of seats you will be sitting relatively high. Now, a person can eliminate the stock seat supports (not my preference of course) and modify as required but, that's a lot more work. I'm 5' 11" and I have installed SPARCO SPRINT seats (without sliders) and have used the stock mounting. I had to drill a few new holes in the stock mounts and used some of the stock spacers to aquire my correct attitude but I now sit perfectly in the Z (240). Anyway, I hope this info is of some help to you.
