While your there, you can pick up a big bottle of soya sause to go with them.   :stirpot:

They are a little to well suited to a drag car or rice rocket for my liking, but cheaper than recovering the stock ones.

Personally, I think Costco's Kirkland Brand Coffee is the BEST - Roasted by Starbucks and 1/2 the price  :thumbsup:

Seriously, those seats would be nice in any old Mopar - factory seats are not known for their lumbar support and if you've got a modified car - why not - Go For It

That's good info - we pay from $7 to $10 for Starbucks.  We'll give it a try.  Amazing the stuff you learn here.

MIke - You need to look for the Green 2 lb. bag of whole bean Kirkland coffee - that's the Starbucks one. It is usually $8.99  :icon16:

 :clueless:  I didn't know they sell car parts there?

Maybe they'll have Mopar crate engines soon....  :dunno:

They look cool, but if there made in China I would pass. You don't need to be haulin ass down the road and the seat falls apart.

That might not be as far-fetched as you might think.

I got these of Ebag not long ago. Very comfy! http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=190155066323&ssPageName=STRK:MEWN:IT&ih=009

The only gripes I have is the bolts could be better quality and they pick up any dirt real easy. I'm going to use some fabric sealant to keep them looking nice.

WOW!  Can't beat that price with a stick!! Even factoring in their high shipping cost $225 for a pair of seats is a steal!

I had a set of seats identical to those Costco ones that I got from Pep Boys a while back for $130 ea on sale. I wasn't impressed with the rotary knob to move the seat back. It took a whole lot of turns at an awkward angle once installed to move the back even a little bit. The plastic rotator knob covers kept popping off and breaking the thin retaining clips. The perforated vinly was nice enough but the seat was a bit too firm for my taste. Kinda like riding on a park bench feel to it.

EDIT: After zooming in on the pic of the Costco seats they appear to have a lever type release for the seat back. They are the same style as the others I had in appearance every other way though. You'd have to sit in them to decide if they feel good for yourself or not.

These new seats I bought are much more pliable (cushy for da tushy) and they have a lever type quick release for the seat back. You do have to assemble the backs to the bases yourself but for the price I was fine with that. I had to make some small holes in the fabric and foam in a few places for the bolts to pass through, but again, no big problem for anyone with any mechanical sense at all.
