A lot of it'll depend on what you want to use the car for - fixed buckets can be uncomfortable over longer drives so you really need to at least sit in them first, to see if they suit your body, some have little or no padding, which saves weight but ... If you're considering using them for competition, most seats don't have a slot for 5/6 point harnesses, so you'd be restricted to a four point set. The other thing is their fixed, if you're going to be wanting access to the rear, or intend to carry rear seat passengers, you're going to need at least the passenger side to recline. IMO, the red looks a bit naff, but that's my personal view. I'm not sure, but may know someone with some vectra seats for sale if your may be interested? I picked up a pair from Brad a while back for eventual use and they seem very comfortable - not tilting, but the recliner may allow access to the rear. www.trademe.co.nz/Trade-Me-Motors/Car-parts-accessories/Interior/Seats/auction-369779270.htmwww.trademe.co.nz/Trade-Me-Motors/Car-parts-accessories/Interior/Seats/auction-370437861.htmwww.trademe.co.nz/Trade-Me-Motors/Car-parts-accessories/Mazda/Interior/auction-369986913.htm

if you're wanting fixed seats and spending $200 you can't go wrong with these guys. www.nzkw.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=104_93_106&products_id=242check out the rest of their stuff. I'm sure they won't be the most comfortable seat but it doesn't sound like it's your highest priority. I'm probably gonna grab their recliners for the firenza. These guys also do rails for them.

M&H seats are allgood i had them in my gem. they only just fit tho. all i did to fit was 4 (2 per seat) spacer plates, outside gem rail bolts on and inside one get spaced in about an inch. holes even line up.

unless you plan on racing the thing dont bother with buckets imo.
just get some decent seats with abit of side support out of a WRX, levin/trueno/integra/rx7/yaddayadda etc etc. They got seats to suit sporty driving and are available for next to nothing

may pay to check on when seats need to be certified - I've a sort of impression it's when the car mountings are changed, rather than just the seats?
