These are mine.

I just figured I'd offer them up here. I know not really challenge friendly priced seats, but they are very comfortable.

And I have a wicked sneaker/sweatpant shot in my ad... You guys have any idea how hard it is to take pics of black seats still in the car? PITA.

Would these be comfortable for commuting in an Acura Integra?

Honda thinks so. They put them in the JDM (tyte yo) Type Rs.

I'd be interested in putting them in my 944, but they are worth more than the car...

What's next; or better yet, what's better?

I'm on my phone, so I'll try to answer the questions in order.

John they are extremely comfortable I've taken 7 hour road trips in them and felt fine. Comfort wise the only downside is that because of the higher than stock lower bolsters you don't have as much side to side legroom. Might be fine for most but I like to spread out on long drives. The 911 was my DD for about 9 months and the seats never bothered me. These seats also recline, they are not fix backs.

Speed weight is about 29-30 lbs.

Chandler what's next for my seats? I went back to stock for now. I'm taking most of the aftermarket stuff off my car in favor of a more stockish stuff. So the ole girl has factory seats back in. Maybe not better just for right now.

Yes, depending on your size/frame. I'm 6' 175 (athletic build) with a 32" waist. I fit almost perfectly in them. If your waist/hips/thighs are any bigger than mine you won't be comfortable commuting.

I have to disagree. I'm 5'10" 195 36" waist and I fit in them fine. My hips and shoulders fit fine and they hold me snug. They were nice on cold days when I commuted because being cloth and the wrap around feel of the bolsters made it like I was getting a hug. I can't wear a thick coat, like a Carhart coat, in the seats comfortably.

Now I have a buddy whose 6'6" and 240ish and he was pretty cramped in the seats. He fit, but the combo of the seats and the small car meant his knees were almost up his nose. But then again, I don't think any seats fit him except for a full truck bench seat...

PS I also found out that my local SCCA region is having a rallycross season this year, so these things need to go...

5'11" 200lbs 34-35" waist and these pinched me pretty good in the hip area. If I wasn't perfectly centered in the seat my right leg would start to go numb. They're smaller than you think, my Recaro SPG XL's are much bigger and they're a fixed back seat.

These are one of the best dual use seats out there if you fit in them. Do they have the sub strap hole?

Not trying to hurt the sale of these sweet seats btw, just trying to make sure people are informed before they pick them up. I have a set myself, but I've only installed the drivers seat. 90% of my passengers wont fit comfortably in one. Everyone's bone structure/frame is a little different and it sucks to buy something and then find out you can't use it.

O no doubt, I didn't take it that way at all. But that's also why I'd prefer a local or somewhat local sale, so whoever buys them can sit in them. I put my stats on here so everyone knows they fit different body types.

I sat in several seats before I bought these. A lot of the fixed back stuff didn't fit me as well as these did.

I have them in my 924s and the drivers seat is falling apart. It "only" lasted 20 years LOL. Those look very nice and are so tempting.

For those that care I fond them very comfortable. Even on long drives and with the suspension down tight they are still very nice.

Bgkast- I can't measure them as I'm not near them right now. But are you talking about how wide are they inside the bolsters? Or from the outside wings of each bolster?
