To anyone running aftermarket seats, Im replacing the gross grey stock seats and I came across a set of SS/SC seats with fairly low miles on em. theyre $600 for the front and rear. After this, I was talking to a friend of mine and his cousin has a heavily modded del sol with a set of racing buckets. Turns out he's sticking the stock seats back in and he'll just give me the seats. they're basically brand new black/yellow reclineable buckets(not sure what company). So finally, my question is, how could I go about dealing with the airbag sensor? would I have to have it tuned permanently on or off? or could I make it work on the new seats? also, which would you guys choose? I like the black ss seats but $0 is a pretty good deal for a set of seats lol. thanks in advance

 

will the racing seats even fit properly? and think of how comfortable those are going to be, if ur balt is your DD and you drive it alot then i would get the SS seats IMO

 

I would get SS/TC seats if you can find them.

If you cant, Id go with SS/SC seats.

 

don't do it the racing seats are not going to be comfortable at all

 

I went to summit racing the other day and there racing seats were just as if not more comfortable then my ss/sc seats.

I just dont think racing seats belong in a cobalt unless your at the track all the time and have alottt of HP.

 

well cobalt seats are ridiculously uncomfortable so Im thinking how much worse could the racing buckets be? lol

 

What seats are you getting for free?

 

Im a 15 hour drive away from em so Im not sure how they are lol(theyre in my hometown and Im heading back in like a week). the only reason Im considering em is cause theyre free

 

I am looking to buy some myself. Any pics of the ones your getting?

 

I dont actually know which they are. theyre black with yellow inserts in the center

 

umm, for me to make a decision, id have to see them. see if you can sit in the racing seats first. then make your decision

 

problem is, the ss seats are where I am now, the racing seats are 15 hours away from here, where Im going to be going in a week for the next 4 months

 

Wow, that sucks. So either buy the SS nows, or take a chance on the racing seats, without being able to sit in them. Shitty place to be in. Idk, I love my SS seats, I think they are comfortable, and I wouldn't give them up for a racing seat, but thats me.

 

how about this take the racing seats and see if you like them and if not sell them and make a profit?

 

pretty much lol. Im basically just waiting to see about the airbag sensors now. Im thinking if its a pita getting em to work(or if they wont) Im gonna get the ss seats, otherwise the racing buckets

tempting but he's the cousin of one of my closest friends and I kinda know the guy so I'd feel like an a**

 

Buy racing seats, swap rails from stock seats. Done.

 

I thought the sensor was on the seat not the rails?

 

dude how is this even a question? FREE or 600 bucks? seems like a no brainer

 

well yellow isn't really gonna go with blue so Im kinda leaning towards the ss seats... even though their $600

 

oh... i though you car was black.

 

If I give you $1000 would you go screw 5 cows, and 2 roosters?

My point is your statement says you would set aside comfort to save a couple bucks?

 

I think the SS seats would be cooler
