Try www.nengun.com loads of BRIDE seats and they do the subframes too.

bride are well price to get the subframes over here but cobra have just started to make the jigs to do R33's (and they should be a standard (ish) size mount so can be adapted for recaro or bride seats as well I guess,) £67 a side inc vat and delivery...

sparco, they will import subframes from japan as long as you purchase sparco seats, demon tweeks in wrexham will do this, in the process myself for r34 subframes, works out £40-50 +vat per side for subframes plus your seats

Bride seats are great and hold well,comfy..not a bad price for leather,but will be a bitch to get rears re-trimmed to match..
You only needed sub-frames..?Or seats too...?
can you weld?
Easy enough to cut and shut originals to suit aftermarket seats...or get a local Engineering company to sort them for you,M8.......Take your OME seats and new seats,not too much difference........

road runner, need seats and subframes,no cant weld.i wasn,t thinking about retrimming back seats anyway,i thought would look okay just changing front seets.what do you think ?

I have got so nice recaros from an integra type R and subframes (one from recaro and one coming from cobra) totaly cost about £400 just over... works well in my car but want a few more bits in similar trim now...
