Miata Seats?
Pro's- Speakers in the head rests...
Cons...Speakers in the head rest, about the
size of a 50cent piece...
[2fast]
I have a set of Miata seats. I got them pretty
cheap, $100 with tracks. They are a little faded, but I plan on
having them recovered anyhow. There is a wide selection of leather
seat covers available in the $400 to $600 range, including custom
color combinations.

Having previously owned a horribly
underpowered Miata, the seats were one of the things I liked about
the car. They are comfortable, fit me well, and have good side
support.
The speakers in the headrest worked well for
me, but they are pretty small, about 2" x 3". This is
adequate for me, since I usually only listen to talk radio anyway,
but YMMV. Having them close to your ears seems to help keep the
sound from getting lost in the wind and exhaust noise.
I have the seats setting in the car, but not
yet bolted down. The size looks good and the tracks look like the
should be easy to attach. The footprint is about the same as the FFR
seats. I also tried some 1982 Corvette seats, but their footprint
was too large and interfered with the parking brake handle and the
tracks were hard to position."
[Barry] "I put a Miata seat ff1755.Feels
great, I autocross with it ,good support. Seatbelts another thing,
belts not quite long enough to go around seat and fit good. If you
go through seat it might be ok but 1st attempt jammed me in the
neck, will try again. The seat sticks above the body 8 inches, and
from an appearance standpoint I'm not sure I like that look. I'm 5
ft 10 and its snug but if your taller you might have to modify the panel
just past the door in front of the wheel to get the seat a little
further back."

[MC] "Check Wade's site for some
pictures. http://www.tmctechnologies.com/cobra/May.htm
I got a set from Jegs for $25.00 and I think Summit has the same
ones too. (Don't buy the adjustable brackets they note are needed.)
I think there less than an inch. I knocked out the bolts from the
bottom mount and used drill screws to nail mine down and used the
mounting bolts to mount the seat to. Wade noted he got his from FFR.
The ones from Jegs and Summit have double locks (one on each
rail)."
[BP] FFR's tracks work great!
[WP] "The new clubman does have more
padding than the Monaco, that's why I chose it for my car. I think
they are $210 each."
