Default front seat replacement

My o.e. leather seats need to be reupholstured, thought Supra seats would be lighter, but their hard to find. Anyone know of an easy install lighter weight aftermarket front seats?

corbeau's are pretty easy. nice thing about them is their brackets don't require an additional slider.

Ease of installation is important.

I went to Supra forum to see if they had a for sale forum, but could not find one.

go on ebay, its all the same crap. I'm considering buying a pair on there... none of those are going to be great seats but youre also not dropping the cash you would be on REAL sparcos or Brides. You can find adjustable as well as fixed back. Just type in "racing seats*" and you'll find some decent stuff.

I have a set (drivers and pass side) of used oem SC bottom seat frames with motors. $100 shipped for the pair. Great for mounting aftermarket seats. Email me if interested. draytonwebb@yahoo.com

So I bought a set of front cloth seats out of a low mileage 95 Accord sedan. Ive spent some time on the drivers side seat and have learned a few things. First sedan seats fold back all the way but only forward a little, because a sedan has back doors to get in the back seats. I used the front and rear fact. bolt holes and had to brill the raised steel supports in the floorboard that are for the fact. seats. If you get a track a little out of align the seat will not slide back and forth easily. Be sure to transfer the Lexus seat belt recepticles to the Honda seats. Im hoping to do a better job on the drivers side after lessons learned. The 95 Accord seats look like they were made for the Lex. and 30 lbs. lighter. $50.00 each

I agree I should have taken pics. and will with the drivers side. Supra seats would have been so much easier, these were a 1 mile drive.

A member put Scion TC black fabric seats in his SC and they looked pretty good.
