I had all my seats out today for a good cleaning, and the thought of leather popped into my head.  Then I realized I could maybe put stock LS seats into my car.  Would this work?  And where could I get them, I know the dealership, but they will charge me like 1000 bucks probably.  And I could get Sparcos for that much.

LE, and yes, all 240sx seats are interchangeable save the backseat. s14 seats seem to be a high demand item, I don't think you'll find them cheap.

what do you mean save the backseats? &nbsp;like, dont get leather ones, or do get leather ones and dont throw the old ones out.
im gonna keep all four stock seats, or sell them if I do go with leather.

Replace "save" with "except".

What he is saying is that all the 240sx front seats are interchangable, the back seats are only interchangable (in the direct bolt-in way) within chassis models (s13 seats will only fit with s13's, s14's with s14's).

Yeah - s14 seats ARE that much better. &nbsp;Personally, I think the s14 seats are some of the better seats out there. &nbsp;They are generally firm and supportive (esp. from the 95 SE w/ lumbar <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'> ). &nbsp;And if you think yours hurt your ass, you should sit in mine that have had 2/3 of the foam removed from the seat bottom to make them sit lower.

IIRC, the going price of cloth s14 seats is about $300 for the pair. &nbsp;Slightly more or less depending on condition and lumbar. &nbsp;I'm sure s14 LE seats would be even more used - if you can find them. &nbsp;And mega $$$ from the dealer. &nbsp;And then there's that whole thing about if you are getting leather front seats, nothing will match. &nbsp;

Mark, who likes cloth seats b/c they're grippier <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

If you want stock leather seats, I suggest looking for them from a 95-96 rather than 97+, cuz the 97+ seats don't have adjustable lumbar support.

The seats will fit into your car, but I prefer the cloth seats. &nbsp;The leather seats won't hold you that well when your making those sharp turns, you'll be slippin' and slidin' &nbsp;<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':p'>

It's illegal to use leather seats in a non-leather car... Sorry man, you'll get arrested. =)


anyway. . yeah. .same thing. .haha. . &nbsp;And, nah I don't slide around during cornering with my leather seats... I just worry about them cracking all the time. =) &nbsp;I'm fuckin fat tho, so. . . I don't really have much room to move. . I WEAR the s14... I don't sit in it. &nbsp;haha. . nah actually, when I really wanna drive hard... I lean back far in the seat. .tighten the seat belt. .and YANK it hard to lock it. . works for hard left turns... for hard right turns, I plant my food hard on the dead pedal.. you won't go anywhere. &nbsp;
