Im looking at getting 2 summit racing sport seats in beige to replace my destroyed front leather seats, just wondering, will i need special mounting brackets for these? Or can i just remove the hardware from the stock seat and switch directly over?

You will need aftermarket brackets to accommodate those seats in your car, unless you are good at welding metal.

BTW: Those seats are terrible, they are cheap and not very well constructed.. Your better off finding some used OEM replacements or having your seats recovered.

 

any idea how much it would cost to get the front seats re padded and upholstered? My seats are leather....most of them go for about 2 grand from the dealer.

 

I dont know now much to get them repadded and covered.. but its going to be alot im sure.. just check craigslist.. or the paper.. I see GSR leathers for sale all the time..

 

Not sure about re-padded, as I brought in my own padding when I had seats recovered, but it ended up costing me around $350 for vinyl w/ cloth insert bucket seats for one of my cars. Leather w/ cloth insert was quoted at another $100. Full leather would probably be more. I just shopped around local places looking at the work they had just finished and pricing.

Either way, shop around and you'll find much cheaper than buying brand new seats.

 

If you can't find matching leather seats that are in better condition then that's fine. Its going to be alot of money to recover factory seats. I guess my point was that there is alot better options out there than spending money on those crappy seats in your first post.

I'm not trying to be negative, but they are crap . There are other reclinable seats out there for a decent price and good construction. I can think of Memoryfab seats as a decent replacement, hell even a used set of OEM USDM ITR seats would be good.
