Aftermarket Seats

Honda007 · 01-04-2009, 10:57 AM

I've decided to go with aftermarket seats(sparco most likely) after the cheap aftermarket ones in my S pissed me off. I'm 6'5 so I could use any extra room in the cockpit, any reccomendations on which seats and what I might need?

Im not sure about size but have you looked at brides...? I used ot like sparco untill those sick and you can get them in leather... Very nice

little pricey though

I haven't had much time to look into it alot, but I'll look at bride too. Thanks.

there's some lower rails for the seats you can get also. I know a couple of guys your size who have done that. Drops the seat a couple inches.

really? i didnt kno they even made stuf like tht. also i have a question. If u replace the stock seats, do u really gain tht much room inside? because im 6'3 and was thinkin about doin something similar. jw

Yes there is! I've looked into the lower rails abit...if I recall correctly Password JDM I think makes a set, Does anybody know if these will work with aftermarket seats?

I would suggest you check www.scienceofspeed.com. Not only do they sell seats and rails but they have seats that actually fit the S. And you can also save about 35 lbs on each seat. A nice weight reduction close to the center of the car.

Cool, thanks, It seems there isn't a large variety of seats that fit the S any where else. Bride doesnt make a seat that fit bigger people to well.

Bride are also heavy as lead like the stock seats. Sparco Rev is about the widest that will fit. I tried one at a shop at Sears/Infineon race track. It was comfortable

Does anybody have any aftermarket seats that fit.

Honda007 · 01-16-2009, 07:50 PM

Nobody else has aftermarket seats that work well with the S2000?

dont know about fitting in the s2k, but im getting some sparco fighters in my WRX, my buddy has them and they are SOO comfortable. im excited for them, kind of expensive, but if your looking for comfort theyre awesome, they have "lumbar pads" that you can move around. in my opinion of all the after market fixed back seats ive sat in they get my vote. and id be surprised if they didnt have a rail system or whatever for the S2k.
