Default Seats from AndysAutoSport

Hey all, got another question

Tried Search. Came up with nothing so here we go.

I have frost leather interior. The car has 115k miles on it. The seats have large cracks and areas of wear on them. I looked at some websites to get a new leather wrap but that will cost me 500 per seat cover. Might as well get new seats at that rate. I came across these three brands on AndysAutoSport.

http://www.andysautosport.com/nissan..._seats/yonaka/
The Yonaka Ronin seats look promising, a pair for 350+hardware costs in synthetic leather or 550 for a pair in leather. The leather pair I would only get if the leather has significant benefits over the synthetic leather.

http://www.andysautosport.com/nissan..._seats/spec_d/
These are supposed to be replicas of Bride and Recaro. for 110 bucks per seat, sounds too good to be true, which is usually the case, but who knows, my HKS exhaust replica sounds wonderful.

http://www.andysautosport.com/nissan...s/cipher_auto/

250 for a pair! I have heard that cipher makes pretty comfy seats and they seem to look great for a great price.

Heres what Im looking for:
1. Decently comfortable seats with alright back support.
2. Seats that will hold me in place when I have fun with my car (I sometimes slide around and almost tip out of oems.)
3. Have to be reclining and adjustable. \
4. I cannot spend more than 600 on everything. These come with sliders but no brackets so id have to get those separately.
5. Something that looks decent.

If anyone knows how I could fix my OEM leather from cracks, thatd be great.

What Im looking for is any advice on what you would do, any experience with any of these seats/ any replicas. Any alternative options. Also if you got time Id appreciate anyone to go over pros/cons of leather, synthetic leather/vinyl, cloth, or suede (please keep in mind Im in Kansas with random weather as in sometimes 0 degrees and sometimes over 100).

A lot to ask but Im looking for any help at all even if its in bits.
Its my daily driver and comfort is important due to slight lumbar back problems. I do not track the car but less weight would not hurt.

Thanks a lot in advance, I look forward to hearing from all of you

Leon

This might be an option for you:

00961NRGR $296.10 Notes R100 Tuner Seat
Color Black/Grey

Works Concepts is a vendor here also. Puts you at $600 for the pair with free shipping. I know you would still need brackets/rails but if it were me I would just save longer for better. Just a thought versus some knock offs.

Wow those seem great! Sparco is a good brand but are those specific seats comfortable? If so, im more than willing to save up a bit more. Is that a trusted website?

Also i forgot to mention i have a 32-36 waist so idk about what width i need.

They aren't as comfortable as stock but they aren't supposed to be.

honestly, i wouldn't buy any off brand seats like those. I had a pair in my old car and regreted not spending the extra $400 or so for a bride/recaro. Not comfortable and sit far to high. Also so signs of wear in just a few weeks...

Sold them right away and went with OMP's instead. Much nicer

katzkins new leather for the seats you have now should be 699.

autoleathers.com is far better and about the same.

installation should only run 150 bucks from a good shop.

Choose any color and combo.

699 per seat cover? Id much rather buy the sparcos at 300 apiece? Sparco is supposed to be good right? Anyone with r100 seats comment on their comfort?

Oh i didnt see that. Do you think theyre unbearable for longer trips? Because ive read some good things about their comfort but are they drastically more uncomfortable than oems? Do they keep you in place better?

Corbeau also makes some nice seats that are budget friendly. www.thmotorsports.com carries the full line, call and talk to Adam.

They are sport seats so if you're looking for something comfortable you might want to reconsider the seat cover idea. The R100 has a very low bottom bolster which is one of the reasons I wanted them; I don't want to feel like I am climbing into a race car. They are stiff and hold you in place well for spirited driving. They also sit a tad higher that OEM seats if you are using Sparco brackets but it's not terribly noticeable. For the money, you are getting Sparcos bottom of the line, reclinable, stiff seat...but they sure do look cool.

If you want to keep your OEM seats and not have to worry about new seats being 'too high' or the brackets being just plain garbage.
There were two or three threads on here about people purchasing from them.
The seats looked amzing.
And two people had good reviews.

I'll try and find the thread.
