Replacement Leather seats (Sport seats, not stock)
I'm wondering if there is a company making leather sport seats. I'm looking for seats that have the side supports, nothing extreme but just enough, and ones that are leather as well. For the rear seats I can always just go to the junk yard and pick one up but for the driver and maybe the passenger I'd like to get better replacements. I have a poor back and these seats are seriously killing my back. Plus it is a nice upgrade  .

I'm sure if you find some seats that you like, you'll be able to get some company like classic soft trim to put leather in there for you

most sport seats are not leather b/c they don't grip as good as cloth. If anything, they are like 1/2 leather, 1/2 cloth. If you find some replacement seats though, let me know where. I want to replace mine too.

I know several models of Corbeau seats are available in full leather. I'm sure you can get some Recaro seats in full leather as well.

I checked the prices of the Recaro seats. Up to $3300 per seat...lol. So this weekend I'm going to Toronto to check a dealer who has Corbeau seats and will check them out.

I was disappointed in the quality of the Corbeau VX2000 that i have in my Chevy. Although the full leather would probably hold up better.

I looked at the Momo Speed 2. Not bad, only downside is the price. $1100 per seat.

just get your stock seats re done in Katzkin. We were going to do that to the 240, but decided on racing seats instead.

I don't want to reskin the front seats because they suck for support and long drives. Quite literally, my back hurts after 10 to 20 minutes of driving.
