racing seat install HELP

anyone ever install racing seats in a maxima? I ordered tenzo R seats off ebay and can't find brackets to fit my car. All they have brackets for is acura, honda and mitsubishi. Any info would help on what I should do thanks.

Racing seats in max if it's used often for (duh) racing = nice.

Racing seats in max if it's the car you drive to work and rarely sees a track = rice..

:

Front racing seats with stock rear leather bench seat = hoop-deeee..

the reason I like the tenzo's is because there black and gray wich will match my interior. and I don't have leather I got the gray cloth seats so these will look pritty good in there I think. I may not race alot but I do put the handling of my car to the test because of the suspention work dunn to it and the factory seats just don't hold me in the way I want them to . But I do see your point on why put racing seats in a max.

The tenzo R rallys look real good though. and I got both for only 450$

hehe just kidding around....do what is best for you, it's your car.....I commute the potholed streets of washington dc....racing seats are way too stiff (also why my car isn't lowered!)...I love my heated leather. BTW, comparing the leather seats in my car with my buddy's 2k1 with cloth - the shape of the leather seats holds you very good, at least if you're 6 foot 170 like me....I never slide during hard cornering.

I dunno, racing seats just seem to fit more with a sports car, not a large, semi-luxury sports sedan. makes it sportier, but kind of takes away from the classiness of the max in my opinion. but again, it's your car, so who cares what I say!!!!
