Default Anybody have aftermarket seats?

I'm considering getting the Mugen seats. Does anybody have them, and how do you like them? Also, does anybody have seats from other manufacturers?

BB AP1, where did your friend get the seats from? In Toronto? I'm kinda interested as well.

What size trousers do you use? At 32-34in waist you are in for a tight squeeze. Over 34in and I'd say you will not fit.

The Mugen seats are great (we tried them out while in Japan) but some people did not fit in. Just ask Gregg .

Luis,

Were they pretty comfortable? I'm assuming the oem seat should be more comfortable right?

We have Sparco Road (racing seat) on our race car.
Local cost was $650 for two seats and we custom made the adapters to fit them into the factory rail system.

Here's a pic:

I wouldn't say that is the word that springs to mind. They hold you tight. That's what they do best. Minimal padding, very light weight. But comfortable, I'm afraid not.
