Sit in a variety of seats, and pick the one you like most?

i heard swift gti seats bolt straight in...

ma61 (80's supra) seat are freakin AWESOM! adjustable and cheap, they are a bit heavy though. the front 2 bolts line up perfect the back 2 are only slightly off.

otherwise as mentioned, try your luck and sit in some to see how they are. ke/ae are 'tall' cars so most bucket seats will sit u quite low down in the car.

find a seat or bucket you like. buy it. buy rails to suit. bolt in.

^agreed.

seats are extremely personal, as are steering wheels etc, try velo (very reputable aussie manufacturer, available thru BuddyParts) Bride wont fit anyone with a 38+ waist but extremely good quality, sparco are excellent quality as are recaro,

my step mum has a swift gti and the seats are great.
I have sw20 mr2's in my 86 they are a step up from the gti seats and you should be able to get a pair for around 250 ish.

if you really after racing buckets though id get a velo,ive noticed an increasing trend with these seats and as minihorse said they are available through buddy parts.

Just go to bunnings and buy a 8 Litre Bucket and sikaflex it to your floor pan were your going to sit? Simple.. It's a bucket seat :D

Brides look fat in ke70s. However they would have to be the most expensive around.
For a bride + an ae86 rail that you have to modify your looking at around 1200 bucks. Depending on what bride you get. If ur after something cheap but quality get a sparco. I picked up mine for 250 with a rail to suit a ke70. Depends on your budget, waistline, and usage.

i put ae86 seats in my ae71, they sit alot lower and hold u better (then the std ae71/ke70 seats)
3/4 bolts align up, the other bolt was 2mm off

i have also checked the swift seats while i was at the pickapart and they dont bolt up

and if you cannot afford any of the above options - cut the springs in the bottom of your stock seat for ultimate ghetto bucket!

stuff a cushion under your ass for comfort and then pull it out when you needz teh Gh337o modzltof.

Definitely agree there on AE86 seats being better than AE71/KE70 seats. The JDM AE86 seats are quite a bit better again than the ADM ones.
