Where can I get these seats?



Anyone know where I can get these seats? I believe they are standard on the Euro-R? how much would I be looking at and direct fit?

And also the pedals.

All I know is that they are made by Recaro for Honda.

pretty hot seat, except its not leather and you'd probably lose the power seats w/ new rails.

I like the pedals, I really want some new/different ones than stock.

The pedals are from the Euro-R. Visorboy is too slack to install his set: http://www.acura-tsx.com/forums/show...ghlight=pedals

As for the seats: they are made by Recaro for Honda and xizor is right, they aren't power adjustable but they are a lot lighter and more supportive. They show up on eBay every now and then so keep your eye open.

prepare to pay at least $1500 for two front seats.
BUT you'll be driving in one of the safest seat on the market.

If you are installing them on the TSX, be prepared for SRS headaches. By removing the stock seats, you are removing the side airbags. This may send one of the computers into fits and disable the entire SRS system.

I think you mean SRS because ABS has nothing to do with seats.

Well, I'm not sure about Honda/Acura, but on my VW when I changed the steering wheel, we justput in a resistor for the airbag sensor so basically the system still thinks the airbag is installed. And the airbag light wont come on.

The factory TSX seats are kinda soft, so mostly I'm gonna change the seats. $1500 for a pair isn't that bad for factory recaros though. And most of all they look awesome

It should be something like a resistor or a jumper. I don't think you'll have any trouble bolting in some aftermarket seats. That being said, if you do get at TSX you might actually find the seats to be pretty good.

I was pondering racing seats for my car, but after autocrossing twice, the stock seats hold very well.

And I think 2 cloth seats would look horrible w/ the rest being leather. I have a Parchment interior so I know it would. Maybe it'd be passable in a dark one.

Yeah, I think I'll just keep the stock seats. It's a tuner car, but more on the luxury in and with those seats, I don't think the car would look good at all. That's just my 2 cents though.

You might also want to keep your eye open for some Sparco Milano seats: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...tem=2467463213
They come in full leather and a variety of colours. If I was going aftermarket I would go with these seats.

those sparco seats are incredible, but losing the heated seats is a no no. A warm seat is a lifesaver on these cold winter mornings
