prelude seats

Tamer,
Do you have a pic of the Prelude seats installed in your mini? I'd like to see how they fit.
Thanks,
Bob

CRW, Prelude, & Miata all fit

my stock 99 Prelude:
(color is off, they are black)



BTW, the right seat shown not only tilts but slides forward when you pull the lever..

those Prelude seats look like a good fit. What do they do for the seating position? Looks like maybe they're a little thicker on the base than the stock seat base and raise the seating position.

Seats are mounted aft & lower than stock. Excellent for driving. Good lumbar support & comfy.

if your car is mk1 or 2 your choices are limited to narrow seats, anything else hits teh permanent door pocket on those cars.

sorry, more rearwards than the original mounting...

Aft, in naval terminology, is an adverb meaning 'towards the stern of the ship', when the frame of reference is within the ship. Example: "Able Seaman Smith; lay aft!". Or; "What's happening aft?" Its antonym is forward, pronounced "forrard".
