Default What's a good alternative to stock seats?

I'd like to swap out my seats. Red seats from a model year 2000.
But I have not a clue what to do next. I'm a seat noobie.

- What's a good aftermarket seat? (I'd like to stay with leather)
- how much do they cost?
- I've seen leather s2000 aftermarket seats on ebay for $150 or so. Are those any good?

thanks for the info!

I was also interested in this. Something with slightly more aggressive bolsters than stock but not something ridiculous that is several inches high. And instead of leather, a material like Alacantara or suede. IMO the leather seats are a big nuisance during hard driving.

1) Bride Brix or Ergo are a good alternative.
2) Expensive.
3) Those are stolen.

There's a thread in the Gallery on aftermarket seats. TONS of pictures in there.

The problem isn't finding a seat. It's finding a seat that fits in your car.

Bride makes nice leather seats (or they might be fake leather but they look real) i think they're called Bride Pros.

i had a set of sparco speed seats in my ep3. They didnt recline and i loved them. They fit me perfectly. After a year they got a little annoying but no big deal. I would say try to find someone with racing seats and test a few out before u buy b/c they arent cheap.

Member/Sponsor Cyclon36 can redo seats in leather (any color) and alcantara too (I believe). There may be a thread in the Group Buy section.
