Need/want new seats and considering these.

[ern-diz]

I've been waiting on Sparco to receive a shipment of their R100 Tuner Seat since 4/16. I'm considering going with Corbeau because of how long Sparco has had me waiting. I was expecting to get them before Toyotafest and it didn't happen, which was a real disappointment.

What I wouldn't consider doing is going with the no-name, eBay options. When it comes to seats, my 2 cents is you don't want to go too cheap. I've heard some horror stories about them blowing apart in accidents and it's something I just don't want to play around with. Like tires, it's a fairly important safety piece, not just for looks. There's a reason they add the asterisk of, "for off road use only".

At minimum, I would consider a value but known brand like NRG before going with eBay stuff. Like I said, just my 2 cents, so take it for what it's worth

You are correct.I read this on this forum( scion XD seats are pretty much Yaris S/RS seats. should fit as the car is pretty much same as a yaris. )

Basically need seats that are not damaged like my current ones but a tad better overall.The yaris RS seats could be better?

lol i should update that. Scion XD seats have a better lumbar support, but sits higher. It is a direct fit (swap in your seatbelt buckle on passenger side!). Yaris S/RS seats sit lower but same level of lumbar support.

Sits higher..excellent!

I am 5'11'' but find the seats kinda low personally.Going to track down some XB seats.

Thanks.
