Wanting a more supportive seat in my S14, ideas?
Okay, here's the deal. The S14 is my DD, its not currently built for speed, more for handling (although the wheel/tire/ride height kinda limits that aspect). I am 6'1", 175lbs, so i cannot really indulge in a setup that DECREASES headroom as i was stupid enough to end up with a car that is equipped with the sunroof.
So im looking for a seat/bracket combo that will allow for ALOT more support in the thigh and back/side areas. I'd prefer something lighter than stock with a bit of adjustability (recline) unless the seat just happens to be in the perfect position in non-adjustable form. I dont ride gangster style with my seatback all the way back. Im perfectly fine with considering a stock seat from another make (350z, S2000, etc) but im guessing those may actually ADD weight. Which i guess i wouldnt have a problem with so long as its not an obscene amount and the increase in support/comfort is worth the weight penalty. Just trying to see whats out there and what my options are. The 240 needs a christmas present and as of right now, comfort-wise the seat is my biggest gripe. I thought about getting S15 seats, but they only seem to be marginally better (at least by just looking at online pics). |

Have bride in both mine we are about. The same height weight
One is stock height the other is lowered. The one at stock height Is a lot easier to get in and out of. I find that it makes both a lot Easier to get in and out of if I slide the seat back all the way. And Also like the fact the sparco harness is easy to this way also. I put It on and then slide the seat up perfect fit Imho |

Wow thanks for the ideas i'll do more research on these options. Luckily atlanta area is not far from me and i think most of the OEM seats can be found around there so i wont have to ship. I used to own an AP2 so i do remember how nice those seats are.
I find myself constantly wondering how easily an SW20 mr2 seat would be to adapt. My other car is one and i LOVE the seat in that car. Might look into that as well. Although it'd most likely need to be recovered as stock mr2 cloth seats are ugly. |
