Replacement Seat Ideas for SC300

[Halon]

So the stock front seats in the Lexus supposidely weigh in at around 150lbs total. Looking for some OEM seat ideas to replace them with that are somewhat comfy buy weight less. Couple ideas I had are

Evo 8 seats (appx 37lbs each)

RX8 seats (app 37lbs each)

Eclipse seats (3g appx 40lbs each)

(4G appx 50lbs each)

Celica seats (appx 37 & 40lbs each)
http://m.ebay.com/itm/261852853074?nav=SEARCH


Anyone have any input on these, I have not sat in a lot of these seats so no idea if they are good or suck. Basically looking for lighter than mine, manual adjust is fine, cloth color doesn't matter as it will likely be dyed black. OEM as I feel they will be better quality safety wise then some aftermarkets, and be reasonably priced.

I will just chime in and say don't get the 3G Eclipse seats. They are not all that comfortable. I can't speak to the others.

How much are you looking to spend? 500-600 for the pair max?
Aftermarket doesn't necessarily mean less safe. How are you going to do the seat belts? No idea how a stock sc300 seat is setup, if the buckle or lower mount is on the seat itself or to the car. That can make a difference in what seats you can choose. Are you going to make custom mounting brackets for those seats to fit your car?

Kirkey with no covers

[Speedfreak]

What you listed are good options. Few more: +1 s2000, RSX type-s seats, supra seats

How much are you looking to spend? 500-600 for the pair max? Yeah probably that at the max.



Aftermarket doesn't necessarily mean less safe.
Agree, but aftermarket, safe, and comfortable (reclinable) start to get more expensive compared to say a pair of Celica seats for $400.

There are brackets for mounting Evo seats. Otherwise yes custom brackets. I'm pretty sure the belt buckle is mounted to the seat but not sure. All stuff I can figure out as I go though.

Evo IX seats; basically the same as Evo VIII seats, but not ugly blue fabric. The base IX seats are black suede with black leather bolsters. I do not care for the SSL leather seats from the VIII/IX. The Evo X leather quality is much improved, but they're heavier due to side impact airbags which I'm guessing you do not want.

[Halon]

Yeah. If I got anything with side airbags, I may attempt to remove them. There's actually a write-up on how to remove them from the RX8 seats. Kerry put 8 seats in his supra, died the blue part black, looked decent i thought. I'll look into 9 seats though.

If anyone on here has some seats for sale, please let me know what you got! I'd even rock some 1G seats maybe, haha!

If you're interested I have some crazy clean tan cloth 1g seats. I've had them bagged for the past two years or so. Could probably use a shampoo to freshen up dust/smell wise but I've never really seen a set like them.
