Uncomfortable front seats

Hi Guys,
I might be a little spoiled from my previous ride but I find my 04 Maxima to have really uncomfortable front seats. They are not supportive at all and seem a little cheap. I want to know if I can swap them out with another Nissan front seat. Needs to be leather and supportive like a racing seat. What about the 350Z or a high end Infiniti? Anyone know????

Altima SE-R

I priced out a set from the Altima SE-R cause i tested and loved the seats. $890 Canadian plus taxes. Includes all gear and airbags, almost a direct bolt on into the car, except that they sit a little lower.

Peace,

Kam

I test drove an Alti SE-R right before i bought my max and I found the Max seats to be ,uch better. I noticed that the seats from the 07 Max look to be more supportive. Ill have to see better pics. I would consider swapping these if they are better. Otherwise, Im looking to lighterweight seats.

you can always make the bracket fit. i had to modify the brackets for my seats to get them in. the only brackets they had were for a 2001, but it wasn't that hard.

The seats work for me, mine are leather, although Nissan should beef up lateral support a little...

I have leather but leather doesn't equal comfort. My wifes Minivan is more comfortable and supportive than the Maxima. There has to be a simple way to swap Supportive, comfortable, luxurious leather seats!!!!!!
Maybe the 07 will work and I can swap.
