[FEM]

Thanks

Dan

if your after seats that will hold you in well i wouldnt bother and would get a bride or recaro or sparco seat as the sp20 ones arnt that flash

[FEM]

they are newer though, and not that $$

[DVS]

yeh well depends what your after and if you can afford them they would be worth it but if you are looking for comfort the sp20 ones are very nice just dont expect them to hold you in very well

[FEM]

i wonder if they fit :s hmm

[rodhog]

they won't fit by much. Yeah it will be a toss of how wide and how long you have.

But here is a tip. I've played with many a mazda seat. Usually the rails that your slide on are rivited to a the floor mounting's.
Now many seats would have different mountings and then have same seat in different car.

The best thing to do is to measure up and see what comes in close.
You may alos find it possible to derivit a floor mounting set off your current seats and attach them to latter model seats or seats out of another model.

You'd be better off with BA seats as they're quite huggy.

What's your budget?

[FEM]

Im not sure how the SP20's seats are attached but the SP's seats are held down by 4 bolts

i will do some measuring and some fiddling

[FEM]

200-250, dont really mind about the condition, i will be putting seatcovers on them. Are the BA seats 'sporty'?

[Rupewrecht]

Lucky you're putting seat covers on them, as you wont get good ones for that.

define 'sporty'

[FEM]

haha, maybe i will have to increase the budget.

well, the BG SP seats are prety good but they tend to loose their shape, and they hurt my lower back on long trips which i have been doing alot of recently.

I have found the SP20 seats to be really comfortable so i was wondering what they would be like in a BG.

the Skyline GTR seats are sporty.. like wise with the wrx seats heheheh. but something that is comfortable on long distances

I know that there is a pair of SP20 seats on eBay for sale at the moment. $200 in Sydney if I recall correctly.

[FEM]

$75 syd atm i think.

[FEM]

I did some measurments of the BG SP seat rails and the SP and the SP20 dont meet up at all - much to my surprise.. hahah

I wonder if you are able to swap the rails and what not between the two seats. maybe its too much effort haha.

what you guys think?

[infusion]

yeh i was gonna say there 75$ atm at formaz parts in smithfield. (ebay)

you might be able to change the rails over. possible weld them onto the new seats.

depends on how handy you are.

[bourbon]

youll need to cut and weld the rails and possibly make and mounting bracktes... we got R32 GTR ones here if ya want them hahahaha

[zappy65]

id say save your pennies Dan and get a good pair of seats or even just one for yourself, thats what i want to do, Brooke doesnt like bucket seats so im just gonna get one for myself, simple and cheaper....lol

[FEM]

yeah that is exactly what i was thinking. it will be too much effort to get a seat that is not designed to go in. I maze well get a really nice MS seat or something.

Thanks for you helps kids
