New Racing Seats CHEAP !

Just picked up my new "3A Racing" seats from Pep Boys for $240 for the pair.

I must say they are pretty nice, I was surprised.

Looks like it will be a pain to install since the bolt patterns are completely differant, but hey I work in a Machine shop I will get them in !

Those look like they are both the same side.

Looks nice, hopefully they wear OK.

Yeah they only make one side(Universal), but I am using the factory electric sliders and taking off the ones that came on these seats.

Very cool, those will look great with the color your car is.  I installed some Corbeau FX1 racing seats in my 87 TC and love them.  They are plain black, but still look great.  I ditched my electric seat brackets and bought the Corbeau manual ones and dropped a lot of weight.  The stock seats and brackets are HEAVY.

Nice... still not Corbeau's or Recaro's, but I guess for that price, you really can't complain.

How do you install those seats?  Can you use Mustang adapters?
