My buddy has a supercharged RSX and the seats look sporty and are pretty damn comfy. PLus he just found out that his girl has been cheatin on him so he invited me to Nopi Drags at commerce where his car will be in one of the sponsor booths!

I had a nice bolt on 93 Prelude and I loved those freakin seats. Some of the most comfortable seats I've ridden on. I say it's worth the swap. You could probably use the fox brackets, but may have to fab up a small additional piece to line up mounting points. Give it a whirl.

My brother drives a prelude

I guess any seat can fit, it just takes the right fabrication for most seats to fit really.

The seats out of an SRT4 are amazing. I had a pair sitting in my room here that I never installed; shipping them out tomorrow (I upgraded to SRT4 ACR seats). Find someone with an SRT4 and just ask to sit in it. The bolsters are huge.

Just choose something with a nice frame underneath to accomodate attaching the Fox tracks to it (in a safe, secure fashion).

On my backburner has been a set of leather seats from a Euro car. There's no rails underneath (the seats didn't even have floor mounted sliders in OEM fashion) so I'm making a subframe to marry the seat to the fox tracks. The seats were such a great deal I had to take what I got. It's gonna be a real pain though.

In hooking them up (they're zillion-way power seats) I just need to ensure I dont explode the air bags in them.

In any case, I think seat swaps are cool for guys who dont have upwards of a grand to toss at nice aftermarket seats. Good luck with it. And post up pics (including progress pics) when you're done.

I have drove a few preludes...nice seats indeed. I like the Mazda MX6 seats myself I would love to get a set of them. I have seen alot of them and usually black leather.

i recently saw Saturn seats, YES Saturn seats in a 69 Nova. It's a hot rod too. If my uncle the owner of shop didn't tell me so . I would of had no idea and thought they were custom seats. So I'd say there are many seats out there from various Car makers that are OEM that can fit the bill. It's a matter on what you like and what you come across and how creative you are to make em work.
I have never sat in or even looked in a Saturn in my entire life so I would of never known and still don't know what car it came out of.
Good luck

What year 300zx seats. I have a 88 gt and those foxbody seats really suck.

I wonder if the seat backs can handle the extra acceleration G's when shoved in a V8 RWD car

I wonder if people would just be better off installing new seat foams in their stock seats. Most of these cars are 20-25 years old at this point. Some new "cushion for the pushin" might be a more viable alternative? Not to mention keep that factory look?

My wife's Honda has awesome seats...

Something I thought would be a cool retrofit would be the new Fusion Sport seats. They are VERY nice.

The Fusion seats look nice but you need to have the donor seats come from a 2 door vehicle.
