Maybe a little off topic, but how much did you get them for?

I didn't buy them yet but I'm sure I can get them for $500--maybe even lower . Not stolen--off a totalled car, but lets see How much are they worth?

Again, not 100% but I am sure I will have the first opportunity.

not his car but a stock photo:

Yep, those are the seats I have. I heard they sell for $1200 or so, that's why I was wondering how much you're getting them for.

Can you compare them to the S2000 seats? Support, comfort, bolsters, material, width, etc Appreciate it if so!

Definitely more support, as there is a lot more cushioning in the Evo seats; more side support as well. Width.. I'd say they're about the same wide. Material (suede in the middle, leather on the outside) is definitely more comfortable and I'd say it's of better quality., but that could be a matter of opinion. The suede in the middle is harder to keep clean, and dust sits on it, but I like it more than the leather.


edit: You can make minor minor minor adjustments to leaning the seat.. can't do that with the stock S seats.

I am sure you could make them fit with some work. They look like they would sit tall though.

the seat will fit, width and length wise. but you're going to have to make some custom seat brackets for them to be able to mount on the car.

Looks like they will put you a lot higher than the stock seats though.
I've thought about having the stock ones modified;
bigger wings & side support
alcantra center panels
high base side
heater for winter
