Where is the best place to shop for these seats? I am thinking they would look awesome in my ST and give me the leg room I am looking for.
Wooooops!!! Shoulda posted this onto my existing thread on the driver's seat question. Sorry about that.

I'd suggest siting in a car equipped with them before you buy them to make sure you like them.
For some reason they sit a little higher than stock seats so you'll lose a bit of headroom.

Watch Ebay and adds on FJ. That's about the only place you can get them, they are getting extremely rare.

Pappy, would them seats I got off O2 do him any good with the lower slider? The Corbeau legacy ones? I need to get rid of them.

Nah they won't bolt up.
They would be great if he went and bought some corbeau seats, which would solve all his problems..

Are they the ones from Chromie? Or did Pappy get those? Were those Recaro's?

So I found a complete set of Recaro SVT EAP seats on Focus Fanatics. The guy will sell them to me. He is asking $900. Is this a good deal? Too much?

Get pics and post them...if they are in good shape that might be a fair price...
When dealing with leather, its all about condision...
And be aware, your gonna need to modify the seats where the latch in the backseat area...I had to do that with my wagon since I'm using hatchback seats...

I'd say they are in okaaaayyy shape. They are posted onder this title and author at
www.focusfanatics.com. It would be easier for you guys to look at the pictures there than it would be for me to figure out how to post them on here.
Thanks for the help....as usual!

How about a direct link, I can't find his ad.
Or just post the pics here yourself.

the last post on it was 11-14-2009, by me. It is on the second page of parts and accessories right now, about 5 rows down in the Buy-Sell-Trade section of focusfanatics.
If this doesn't help, I can draw you a map and send it by mail.

That wasn't so hard
Anyways, I can't see the pics he posted. Whatever hosting site he's using must be blocked here at work.

They don't look like they are in that great of condision...
I'd maybe offer him 750 or something and go from there...
Maybe even less for being a member on FF...LMAO
But seriously, they aren't too bad, I'm sure they could be cleaned up if you went to town and recondisioned the leather on them...
