[5speed94]

My 94 protege seats are killing me. I would love any suggestions on a differnt seats. Mabe ones I could take out of a scape yard and custom fit them? Any suggestions?

Try the wreckers ,look for a set of sets from a MX-3 ,they bolt right in ,however you will sit lower in the car

if you wanted to sit the same stock height...you can put spacers down first...or you can try fo find protege GT seats....i'm gettting a set this summer...they are great

thanks for the advice. I think I would want my seats to sit lower. I am 6,2 and my protege has a sun roof so my head does rub on the ceiling. Are there any disadvantages to haveing lower seats?

5speed94 I am 6' I had Mx3 seats in my 92 ,I ended up rasing them 1" . I found this better .

I recently added the MX3 seats in my 90 LX (BTW, 92-93 MX3 seats only, the others aren't as supportive. nor do they just bolt right in)

I'm 6'1" and at first i felt they where just too low, but i have gotten to like them as is, i raced with them last weekend and they felt very good, my butt actually stayed in place!!! My only mod is to lower the steering wheel slightly, rather than raise the seats.

Yes, probably a bit harder to do, but i like and need the lower center of gravity the MX3 seats provide. Hey 1" is 1" and it still makes a difference :D

What do you mean that they are "killing" you?? Do you mean that the look of them, of just the cusion or what?? A cheap route to go is to have then redon, they are already buckets, which is a pluse and then have them done (prolly doing it urself would be good) in leather or what not, would be a really good idea. Also if the custom is not good, then you can get some memory foam and then sew it (or have it sewn) into the new seat that you are doing, this will make it feel way different, and alsoif u wanna do like a flame job on it, then cut out a flame on the memory foam and then glue it using 3m upholstery foam and then put it on the seat, and then lay the new covering for it. I think that usually a seat looks the same to me but with different cloth/leather/vynle to me

I was looking at the Tenzo Rally's because they have grey/black version and recline. They look to be comfortable. Can I use the factory sliders with no heavy modification? Have MSP owners used these seats before? Thank you.
