Possible Seating Option

[jdance30]

What's going on guys?

So here's the deal, my seats are torn to pieces. I want to replace with genuine E30 seats, but there are 2 problems, I'm on a budget and my location. E30s much less E30 seats are pretty hard to find in SC, and because of my budget I can't afford to buy a pair shipped off of someone here (shipping seats is not only a pain, but also expensive...very expensive).

So I found these:

Does anyone have these? If so, what seats did you use? I think I'd lean to E36 more than E46.

Even if you don't have these, what do you think of them?

Just want to get some opinions, cause with this setup, I could get a nice set of front seats with these adapters for less than $400 and we all know how much E30 nice seats sell for.

Let me know what you guys think. Thanks a lot!

There are lots of E30s in the Carolinas. Post on the regional forum and don't give up on E30 seats yet.

Lots of people put e36 seats into their e30's.. if you're gonna do the conversion see if you can find some vaders, or at least some nice power seats that work and are in your price range. Since they're OEM the car's resale value won't be very much less than if you just had your seats redone

I just picked up front and rear Cabrio seats in natur and I don't think I'll be using them after all. Front skins are best original skins I've seen (which is why I bought them), seams are perfect and rears are fine but with the usual split on top. Frames are so so.

Let me know if these might work for you

What color are they? Sports or comfort?

Ive never seen a Cabrio that did not have sport seats so yes they are sports and they are Natur which is the darker beige they went to in I believe 1988. My 87 has Pearl Beige.
