Coupe Seats, are they worth it?

There is someone in the Marketplace selling coupe seats, I was thinking of picking these up for my car since I love the way the coupe seats feel but I'm not sure what a good price would be . My sedan seats are in realy good shape so I'm not sure if I should waste my cash.

You have to be the judge of whether changing seats is worth it after considering whatever price they're being sold at along with the comfort/fit.

if you're small to average size they may work. If you're larger they will be very tight.

Saw some in the classified for $1000/pr, seemed awfully steep to me. I'd like some for my sedan, but not at that price.

LOL.

I have a question for you guys; is the side bolster on the driver seat suppose to be the same as on the passenger seat? I think I or the previous owner (the seat had the common ripped place right by the plastic piece when I purchased it) completely ruined the bolster because when I sat in the passenger seat; it felt much better and tighter than my driver seat.

coupe seats are one of the best mods i have done on my sedan. A common price would be 700-1000 for both.

Yes, the shape and foam density are identical.

Well decided to spend my money elsewhere, if my seats were in bad shape I'd be all over these but there far from it + I need a set of HF Cats so I've decided on those.
