well my seats have the fox body lean and i almost ended up in the back seat on a good hook launch and almost again on a 1-2 power-shift. fun and scary at the same time lol. as most do i have a huge list of wanted mods and seats were not near the top. looking for something not too pricey but will hold up. cant find stockers in good shape for a decent price and all the ones i would really like to get are more than im willing to spend on seats right now. looking for cheap but durable and still have the stock functions of reclining and folding forward for rear seat access.

anyone running the
summit or jegs "sport seats"?
amazon brands like Netami, pro car scat, spec-d, spec one, really any of the Auto Dynasty seats?

looking do spend $300 or so for a pair.

Why not a set of factory seats from a '94-'04? No more fox body lean, direct bolt in and twice as comfy as anything That the aftermarket will offer you at that price?

Would love them. Can't find any that don't need to be redone. Only found local ones that are shot

I used to have the jegs sport seat. Not bad for the money but if you want to spend any real time in the car your ass and lower back went on strike.

I used a Procar Scat seat for a year. Did not care for it. The comfort was not great,but that was not the main problem. It just never felt ''right'' Tried moving the seat up/down and side to side,never felt natural.

Did a search and found the passenger seat could be swapped to the drivers side. Did that and for the first time in a long time the car felt normal. This will work until i find a set of newer factory seats.

I'm using them. They are very stiff. There is no lumbar, and very little cushion. I'm quite confident that they'll be ass killers on any trip over 100 miles. Additionally, you will need to be able to fabricate mounts to get them to fit your car.

How hard was adapting them to your car?

Got any pics of them in the car?

Seriously dude, the aftermarket stuff is junk. I just went to http://www.car-part.com/mobile/index.htm and punched in your zip and found literally hundreds of factory '94-'04 Mustang seats. The first 4-pages were within 100-miles of your location.

To be honest, I'm not even crazy about Recaro. Friend of mine has a Focus ST and I hate them. I had a 97 GT for about a year and absolutely loved the seats in that thing, though. Comfy! If I ever find some nice black ones down here, they'll definitely go in my foxbody.

I know you said you're getting cheaper seats for the time being, but for what it's worth (when/if you decide to spend more),I love my corbeau lg1's. I have an oddly sensitive lower back and most seats get uncomfortable quickly for me. The stock seats for example, I couldn't stand to be in for more than 30 minutes. The longest trip I've had with the lg1's was 125 miles and my back felt great, very supportive for me.

Anyone know if 2015 seats will bolt in? May be able to get a good deal on a nice set

Well I looked into this and they are not even close. Lots of fab work to make the brackets line up

If you can find a good set, SN95 seats do make the car look better And work like stock

Hello, I have these 2000 mustang seats coming for my 91 fox. I know they will fit, the questions are…. Do I use the fox brackets or the ‘00 brackets ? And if I don’t use the lumbar plug, I’ll be missing out on what exactly with these ‘00 seats ?

You can use either track. They will both bolt into the fox chassis vehicle. Most of the 99-04 driver's seats have a 6-way power track, so if you don't connect power you will lose that adjustability. You can bolt the fox track to the drives seat, but will just need some washers to use as spacers due to the bottom of the seat not being flat
