Yea, they are a bit expensive. But, with the carbon back, they should give some nice weight savings.

looks good! :)

UPDATE! Installed pics on the first page! If you have any questions about the installation or setting up the harness please ask.

And yes this was just under $2000 for JUST the drivers seat.

i chuckle a bit at the attachment to the rear harness...but not much :) not bad, i prefer a little more color to break it in the middle, but it looks good :tup:

well you have a whole collection of colorful pillows you bought at bed bath and beyond boring so you have no issues. :icon18:

OK, you did very well. Congratulations.

Now, down to my obsession: Weight. Accounting for the seats, belts, sliders and all hardware, what is the net weight-savings over stock (non-electric) Z seats?

forst of all, nice seat!!!
it looks really nice.
I am thinking to change my seat too, but isnt there a side air bag that will give you a problem after you remove the original seat?
what did you do to take care of the computer issue on the side air bag?
I really wanna how to do it so that I can swap my seat with a recaro.
Thank you.
by the way, mine is a 09 basic with sport.

there is a diy about bypassing the seat airbag/weight sensor on passenger side.:tup:

looks great, especially for a full bucket seat! anyway you can update with higher quality images??

thanks for your help.
what is the diy? can you tell me more about it?
I am just tring to swap my driver seat, is the sensor on the passenger side?
sorry for keep asking, I am new to this.

If you go under the DIY section of these forums, there is a thread titled DIY: Racing Seat airbag light fix. Itll go step by step with pictures of what to do. I still havnt done this yet, and all that shows up is a blinking stick figure with an airbag goin off in its face on the dash. It hasnt bothered me too much yet and there are no alarms.

Another side note incase anyone ever wonders this, when you disconnect the stock seat connections that are under the seat, it disconnects the seat belt entirely, so you will NOT get a seat belt light or chime whatsoever.

as soon as the next car show comes around (probably sometime within the next week) I will have plenty of HD photos to post of it. :tup:

OMG :owned:

:bowrofl: :roflpuke2: :icon18: Point Kenchan! :tup:

Reaper, going to bump this thread up, but did you gain any headroom when you installed these?
Also, do you have to get the sliders or do they make a setup which just bolts straight down? Usually gives a bit more headroom.

hmmm not really sure if I gained anymore head room. One problem is that they sent me two of the same aluminum side mounts, so I was only able to set the seat into one position, but they sent me a replacement that I havnt had time to take the seat out and put in yet, once I do I will beable to drop the seat lower. The seat has to attach to the sliders, I dont think there is a way around it at all. But I am 5'11" and I had no problem with headroom before or after (guess I just really didnt notice a difference) But I do have a slight problem with the current postion of the seat, with my thigh hitting the steering wheel a bit when using the clutch, I am hoping that with the new side mount and being able to set it at a lower position that It will eliminate the problem.

I did have a buddy of mine test out the seat, and his head was practically hitting the ceiling, but he is tall. He then sat in the passenger side (which is still stock) and said that it was equally as bothering. So all n all its the same as stock ride height and probably a little lower once I get the seat adjusted the right way finally.

I have put a few hundred miles on with the seat already, doing some long distant (hour drives) into downtown chicago as well as various car meets. And all I can say is wow I still love it. I was so serious about getting sway bars to help with body roll in highspeed corners, but with this seat it doesnt bother me AT ALL and gives a lot of confidence. And it is VERY comfortable even for an hour sitting in it, and like I said I am kinda overweight in the seat but its still A+ and has been getting better by the week now that I have been workin out. Bumps and stuff also feel weightless, this seat is VERY well made. Only issue you have to worry about is making sure "all the furniture is in the same room" when your clipping yourself into the 5 point harness (which the 5 point harness has also been very comfortable for long drives)
