Aftermarket Seat Question

Wiggins3377 · 09-21-2012, 10:09 AM

I've posted a few threads about this topic, but I’m contemplating adding some aftermarket seats to my Z, unfortunately though I have the heated/ power seats and really don’t want to give those functions up. That said I’ve been contemplating whether or not it would be possible to retrofit a backrest cushion from an aftermarket seat to the base that comes from the factory. I’m certain that I would need to fabricate some sort of adaptor to get it to work as well as consider the overall height of the backrest and the width of the center cushion on the backrest, but I was wondering if anyone could think of any other issue I may come across. I love the color of my 40th stock seats, so I would more than likely just get the aftermarket backrest recovered to match. Right now the four options I’m considering most are Sparco Chronos, Bride Gias and Bride Euro II and the stock GTR seats. Let me know what you think.

Hey guys quick question. Found a forum member selling a pair of bride Pros (which are discontinued). There are bottom mount and use the bride RO rails or the Megan rails. He claims they are the same seat bolt pattern as recaros. I don't know anything about the figment of seats and he is looking to get rid of them soon. My question to this all knowing community is will these fit my Z? I have a 2011 sport base if that matters any. There is damage to the seat but it is minor. Thank you in advance guys.
