Default New Seats.. Good choices?

I decided that this is my next purchase and that i will try to work out the issues with the air bags. i am really just looking for ideas for seats and a reputable place to buy them online. i would really like to keep it under 500-600 for a pair. let me know your thoughts. And thanks for helping.

Just curious, but, why would you want to replace good comfortable seats with some hard racing seats...just for the look? I fear that you can not buy any really good comfortable seats for $200-300 each.

race seats are worse. my s2000 seats are stiff and because youre bolted to the chassis with far less padding its kinda tiring on long trips. also the side and shoulder bolsters make you hunch over during long trips too.

but damn. they look hellla good.

if i remember the SRT4 stock seats were a lot like the RSX/civic si seats and those had more padding..

but there is nothing stopping you from getting new seats. NoLimitzInd has NRG seats on Weapon-R brackets. most seats are mounted with 4 bolts on the bottom and thats how the weapon-r bracket allows you to so go for it. post up when you get some seats!

Many aftermarket seats (cheaper ones) and most racing style seats are very hard and unforgiving. I would be leery of spending hard earned dollars unless I could sit in an example first.
