Can anyone suggest some nice aftermarket seats?
I am looking for some nice seats to replace the stockers. Comfort is a plus, and side and leg bolsters are a necessity. I really don't want a seat with the harness slots in the top, but is seems that I cannot find a seat without them. I am hoping for black/charcoal in color..

Oh yea, and 4-500 bucks and under please


Anyone have any suggestions?

Yonaka "Ronin:"


These seats are identical to the popular "Arizen" seats. If you do a search on LS1tech, several guys have purchased the Arizen seats and are giving good reviews on them.

Here's the Arizen site for sake of comparison:

These guys have the Yonaka's in genuine leather with free shipping for $529:

Notice that they do make a distinction in price between "leather" and "synthetic leather." (Also with stitching color options.) The Arizen seats were priced similarly a few years ago when they were still new and nobody knew about them.

Wow, I really like those. Not to mention the price is per pair! I am kind of torn between the leather and cloth versions, though. I leave my top down a lot, and I have had some horrible experiences with black leather in the sun, lol. I think I may go with the cloth ones. At $320 a pair with free shipping, it seems like a steal! I was planning on spending about 5 bills a piece! Nice find dude!

Seats with "universal sliders" usually have to be positioned in the vehicle where you want them to sit first, and then have the spots where the floor studs touch the slider rails marked off, and drilled to match.
