Anyone in maximaland with aftermarket racing seats in their Max ?

Looking for something lightweight to replace the dual power leather seats which are close to 50 pounds a piece.

Brand ?
How was the install ?
Price?
Review ?

 

last issue of sport compact car had a section with many racing seats. take a look for reference.

 

i was about to say the same thing ... but wouldn't you think a set of Black Recaro SRDs would fit nicely?

 

How much do these run?

get some bride racing seats....

 

Sparco Milano 2 in black leather...

Actually, I haven't ordered them yet...

$1299 MSRP each...

 

I got a pair of Axe II seats off Ebay for $230 shipped to my door. They're okay, but you get what you pay for. There's a bit of play in the seat back and the sliders are pretty stiff. They weigh about 19 lbs. a piece. Had to build my own brackets for the universal sliders.

 

are any of you guys small enough to use Bride seats? if you read Sport Compact Car's racing seat comparison chart, it says that their seats are designed for the typical japanese man .... 5' tall with a 32" and smaller waist. my brother owned a Bride bucket seat for a short period .... got rid of it tho b/c it was too tight

just my 2cents

 

corbeau CR1 seats, a friend of mine has them on his BMW, they feel really good. www.apexperformance.net as for Clark and on their website they have a lot of pictures of the different stlye seats they sell.

 

which brand of seats makes brackets for the 5th gens? Sorry for the n00b question...

 

not necessarily. leather is more money but doesnt give you a better racing seat.

 

Corbeau A4.

Install was easy, I think we got both seats done in under an hour including removal of the old seats. But the Corbeau's come with Maxima specific brackets, so it was pretty much just line them up and bolt them in. No modifications needed.

Not sure of the cost, it was a sponsorship. I don't even know if Corbeau makes A4's anymore, this was a while back.

Very comfortable seats, but not good for larger people. If your waist is bigger than about a 34", don't get these. I think the CR1's are a little bigger. Much, much more comfortable than the stock seats, I always hated those.

 

Guess you've never driven in this seat. You don't slide...at all. I was throughly impressed with it, and on top of that, it matches my interior perfectly.

 

usually leather racing seats arent shiney, slippery leather. they are bucket style, with thigh support, so you wont slip out.

 

It is.

 

That'z z onez I vant...

 

and thats why they're so expensive....
