Aftermarket seats
Posted: Sun Jul 03, 2011 7:27 pmHi all,
The seats in my RS2000 need recovering and the foam is pretty shot, so I thought it would be cheaper to get seats from somewhere else. I saw at autobarn a range of seats, Monza, SAAS etc, Most around $350 -$450 a seat and pretty comfy/supportive.
Are these ADR approved and as such, legal to bolt in or is it a bit more compilcated than that? I noticed they seem a bit wider than the factory scheel's and Im also wondering how people have attache these. Do you mount the new seat to the escorts seat rails? Does this need engineering approval in NSW. Ive heard of people using cordia turbo seats and MX5 seats but if they have to be recovered its not worth it and Im better off repairing mine. Its mainly a cost issue as to swap/replacement rather than repair
Cheers
