If I had $$$$$$$ to burn I'd buy a second set, I really don't like how "fragile" the seat covers are!

Im open to offers in general guys, but no low ball offers.

We all know how rare these seats are, let alone without the material worn, and without scratches in the carbon.

Its the type of thing we all want in our car, so the demand is large, but the supply is very very small.

Unlike other Recaro's, they fit straight in, without hitting on the doors or console.

I am going to try and get another set of covers made up if i can find similar material colour etc keep the original ones in good Nick , especially after realising what people are asking and getting for them :D

mate get a set of seat edge protectors off Marcus for around $180 a pair, I have both sides done on the drivers side, they are the same colour red and look great,I've had mates tell me they thought they were part of the original seat!

Raff the passenger seat is fixed to the furtherest position the extinguisher has been slightly angled in order to get it to fit , the levers can be reached but , can only slightly be moved .

Raff you may prefer RXHEAVENS SET UP ...READ THESE TWO THREADS

If you have a fat ass, forget it.They were designed for narrow Japanese physiques.I'm 5'8", 75kgs and they fit very snug.

I am 6ft 3" and have more head and leg room with these seats compared to the standard seats. I drove the Spirit R from Sydney to brisbane...was like being in buisiness class compared to economy. :D Love them but my butt only just fits comfy. I am 108kg's....a couple more kilo's and im out :(

They are a pain to get in/out of but once in they are more comfy than they look.

They are very comfortable to sit it. Very supportive.

They actually give you more head room then the stock seats.

Plus you can remove lower padding, to gain extra head room, because it has velcro holding it in.

$4200 is cheap for the people in the know. Like someone said....you can get them for $3800 from the states, but even at todays dollar ( .73), that still $5200, plus more shipping to AUST.

Having had hip problems from a previous motorbike accident i feared that the seats in my Spirit R would be a PITA but have been proven wrong they are snug as and comfortable .

I am 85kg and 5'10'' with a cute small ass i am told by the girls lol lol (poofs dont bother to apply ) lol lol

yeah, head room is not my problem, with the standard seats my left knee gets caught between my steering wheel and my handbrake!! I can't wear work boots cause i don't even fit then... I'm 6'7 and 100kg so yeah... not small! i'm pretty keen though...

yeah they are THE seats to have for the taller gentleman with an RX7. I have them in my RZ and would not be comfortable with the regular FD seats. these enable you to sit much lower in the car and also adjust the angle of the seat which helps with knee clearance of the steering wheel since the column is not adjustable. they are lovely seats. I'm 6'2" about 90kgs and I fit fine
