How much did they run you? I need new seats in my buggy, and Leduc seems like a great option.
Cheers,

Not cheap but I have parts of me that go numb in these damn polys. Cant take it any more.
I upgraded a few things which ran up the cost. I added 4" to the back of the seat (I'm a tall guy), will now be the same height as my polys are $35.00 per seat.
I added back seat pockets on both seats, Rear pockets $45.00 per seat. I also added neck loops for my 5 point harnesses, not sure how much that was. I did the neck loops because my 5 point harnesses are super wide and not sure they will go through the single hole in the back rest. The wider seats you can get two slots. These only one. I also bought covers that can be put on the seats when they are not being used, to protect the suede. $605.00 CAD. per seat plus $79.00 CAD. per cover.
These are supposed to be the most comfortable suspension seat in the market and are the only 19" wide suspension seat as well.
I was looking at these, free shipping. https://www.cip1.ca/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=C13-62-2777
But my buddy told me he had to modify the seat to make them fit. And they would probably hot as heck in the sun....

We have a set of those EMPI seats in the "beater buggy". Very heavy, low quality. They are maybe 3 years old and the naugahyde is pealing. They are comfortable, but not like the PRP's in the Manxter which have cloth seating surfaces. Tom

I'm sure glad I bought my seats when I did almost ten years ago....
I paid $521.00 shipped to my door for both seats, sliders and the pair of Manx mounts. At the time it was the biggest single purchase I made on my buggy.
While there might be better seats, I consider them one of the best upgrades I have done besides my turbo and FI.

Nope, not yet. They said 2-3 weeks then I will either have to go up to Leduc (2.5 hour drive) or have them shipped down from there. Patiently waiting...... |
I have relatives in Edmonton and a Sister in Leduc. I thought you Northern Canucks didn't bat an eye at a 2.5 hr drive......  
Don't you just do about 160 km/hr and shorten it down to 1.5 hrs???

Yes they are here, I just got them installed today actually.
Beautiful seats!
Never guess what I did.....
Making brackets, have tack welded into place. All good.... See a bracket that is sticking out too much so take an angle grinder and cut it off. Take hot piece, grab it by hand and toss it out the side of the buggy. Piece hits cage deflects and lands right on the seat burning a hole in it.
You know I give up. Maybe I'm not meant to have nice things.... So I call PRP and ask them how much to get some material, call around to see how much to get fixed. Turns out It's cheaper to buy a new cover from PRP. PRP took pity on me and knocked 50 bucks off so with shipping this was a $200.00 screw up.
I haven't driven it yet, it snowed today......

Don't feel bad Glasser..... I burned a hole in one of mine with a trouble light.
For me the hole is still there.
My buggy is not a show car so most times my *ss will be in the seat hiding the mark and no one will see it.
