Well, there goes your luxury. You should have bought a 240 if you wanted to get cheap parts to fix up your car. Lexus stuff is not cheap.

Memoryfab sell some seat for under $500. I dont know about the quality because I have never seen them in person. But im guessing that they are good quality since they sell some topnotch stuff. Heres the link http://www.memoryfab.com/products/detail_accessories_4/

Why don't you go with some rx-7 seats? Just make a custom seat bracket. They'll take a bunch of weight off the car and you should be able to find them on the rx7 club forums. I don't mind getting some things from ebay but with some no name seats that don't have any fia or dot rating wouldn't trust my life with them.

I was thinking about getting a pair but I don't want to lose the power seats. I like the passenger seat moves when I recline it. Sometimes I stare at it while moving

Since price is the issue, try Corbeau. They do the job.

I like mine and havent had any problems with the actual seat. I had to modify some supra mounting brackets alot and make my own rails to make them work which was a pain. They are comfy to me but im 5'8 140ib, if i were bigger they wouldnt be.

Who me? Well dont exzactly have a cutoff. I would have been up and running end of december, but the pulley system they give you is way off. You have to machine quite a few things yoursels and in my case make new fuel lines. Scotturnot is machining me some pulleys and stuff. I will put up a post as soon as im done with probably video...
