Default good replacement seat? where to buy?

To be honest I havent spent a ton of time comparison shopping, but thats mostly because I dont have any knowledge of aftermarket seats.

The original drivers seat in my crx is coming apart on the side bolster where i think most of them first show wear. u can see the same spot starting to thin on the passenger seat also.

basically i can do two things.
1- I used to work at a shop that installs leather interiors and sunroofs, so for pretty cheap i can have them reupholster my stock crx seats. downside is i really dont like leather, i dont wanna worry about someone damaging it, gets hot in the sun, makes noise, etc.

2- I get some aftermarket seats. I could even just the driver-side aftermarket since the passenger side is still totally intact.

Does anyone on here have aftermarket seats? sparco, bride, etc?
i really dont care if theyre name brand, just want to replace what i have now.
who has good prices on them? anyone local to the ny, long island area? shipping is a bitch with them.

thanks a lot!

does the shop just do leather? cause im sure u could have the crx stock seats reupholstered in something more reasonable, material like they use for aftermarket seats. just a thought... IMO, nothing beats crx si seats if its ur daily driver/racer.

3. free! swap out your driver's side seat for the passenger side seat. it should be interchangeable if i'm not mistaken , just need to change the rails.

of course you could always get an aftermarket seats if you got money to spend. check with them.
