what other seats could we make fit in an R53?

has anyone swaped out thier two front mini seats with anyother seats? for example putting Acura RSX seats in a mini?

the mini bucket seats are nice and all but the RSX seats look way better.

this is a link to the RSX seats.

I'd love it if a set of VW Recaros would fit my R55, but I have a feeling that with all the weight sensors and air bags in modern seat, interfacing with the computer with seats not made for the car could be a nightmare.....

the user PGT did Mitsubishi EVO recaros in his 2006 R53. Love those seats.

He was able to swap the weight sensor.
