I have seats from an imported GTI-R Pulsar in mine, very comfortable. I have no idea how much they were worth as they were in when I bought it, they don't look hard to fit but.

i have honda prelude seats in mine. reallly comfy but have since failed engineers cert...they need "more strength" even though they have steel plates bolted and welded to the floor front and back. with about 10 high tensile bolts locknuts and springwashers...but they still need more...
