My car is so clean you could eat off it.
i hate whats it worth threads but in peoples opinions what would a mint set of seats with runners from a spec r be worth in the usual navy/black variety?

Did you get some subframes sorted for the new seats then Dean?

yes mate i did ended up getting cobra frames from demon tweeks and in all honesty, they are about an inch higher at the front but its not the frame its the depth of the cushion on the seat. i actually really like the seating position, and i know i'd of made a hash up of making my own frames as there isnt much tolerance in fitting the seat, the bolsters are literally as wide as the space the seat fits in and the back of the seat is on the floor, i could barely fit the mat under it. i can see how brides frames may get it a little lower at the front but that would cause other problems on the door side as the shoulder 'wings' are just touching the door and the bottom bolster fits in the gap under the door handle - any lower and they'd hit more on the door. they've done a good job on the frame, but if yours is lower then they could of done better. thanks again for your help anyway, had this not worked it would of been extremely helpful:thumbs:

On the original Impreza frame I modified, there were little spacers between the runners and the frame. I also done away with these to gain about 15mm, and like asda say, every little helps
I don't know if that's what it's like on the s-body frame though.
As long as they are in, and you can sit in a comfortable position, it's all good :thumbs:

yep i didnt bother with the little spacers or belt bracket neither, i bolted the belt clips to the sides of the seat. it is fine, just had to raise the steering wheel a bit as i always have it in my lap
nope, thats what tesco say!

Seats look good in there Dean
Are you gonna sell your standard seats mate??
DeanS15

sold them on for 200-00. bargain for mint seats.:nod:
That is a bargain i would have taken em had i known damn it!!!!
Those new seats look awesome mate!! how much did you get them for if you dont mind me asking?
So am I right in thinking that a mint set of spec-r seats will sell for £200 plus for the pair?
So if I ask around £250 for mine is that a fair price?

i paid a grand total of......£250-00 the pair
had to buy the frames seperately though and they were 70-00 each....you can ask what you want mate, they are your seats. the guy that bought mine we fitted them straight into his s13 and he loved the improvement. fact is, i know that they can sell for 200, you may get 250 for them but the higher you price them the less interest there will be. and mine really were mint in the flesh:nod:
I will probably ask £200 then. They are like new as my car has only done 24,000mls.

they should sell quick on the sxoc as they are a good improvement on the s13 and 14 seats:nod:
Cheers for your advice matey. I will get them posted on there when the car arrives in the next couple of weeks so I can take some good pics.:thumbs:
