Alternative Seats - Maybe

[v8s4me]

I've been helping a friend with a job on his 1995 Honda CR-X and noticed the seats were very comfortable and compact. This got me thinking that they might make a good fit in an 'S' as an alternative to the MX5 seat. There's a set on eBay at the moment as it happens - HERE.

Considering his car had done over 130,000 miles they were in great condition. Honda quality!

I guess in view that you have a mate with one you're probably in the best position to answer your own question...

If I still had my 'S' I could

I ended up fitting Cerbera seats to my 'S'. They did sit higher than the original ones which wasn't a problem for me at 5' 10" but for someone over 6' it might be. The Cerb seats were superb.

I fitted MX5 seats to a Tasmin, they were much more comfortable than OEM. Again though they were higher than the OEM seats which made getting my thighs out of the way of the steering wheel tricky so I swapped back to the OEM ones.

With good MX5 seats getting harder to find and so more expensive it's worth exploring alternatives. There again, Honda CR-X seats don't exactly grow on trees.
