I think my next purchase will be some new seats since i can't drive more then 20 minutes straight without my ass hurting in my leather seats. Post pictures of your aftermarket seats with names and prices!
post your seats!

agreed. I put close to 500 miles round trip about every 2 or 3 weekends and have no complains about the comforableness of the seats. off topic yes, sue me.
From what I have seen of the StrobeMedia's posts I think he has the regular 3 with their leather seats. Which I can definitely say are a little less comfortable. My regular 6S that I had with leather was pretty uncomfortable after a while and not really supportive (slid around in corners).
If that's correct, find some speed3 seats!

+1 i test drove a regular 3 before i bought my 6 and didn't feel comfortable in it, hence the reason i got a 6....and when i test drove my speed 3, it was night and day....and now, my mom has a 3 hatch, i can really tell the differences between hers and mine.....definitely no support makes it less uncomfortable....
as far as aftermarket seats, i used to have these in my zx2. i got the "wide" version cause i'm not a "little asian man" i'm about 220.....i thought they were comfortable but maybe not for LONG trips....

ha yeah i have an NA mazda 3 hatch with leather seats and they're so uncomfortable for me haha, and no i'm pretty average size, 5'11" 150lbs. +/-5, I'd like to find speed 3 seats but i have no side airbags, so that would require switching seat belts as well.

You might have a hard time finding OEM MS3 seats as I don't see many owners replacing them with anything aftermarket. Your slimmer frame should fit most aftermarket seats, my vote would be a 2nd hand set of Recaros from another car. I've seen JDM Civic/Integra Recaros in a MS3 before and from what I remember from my Honda days, they were superb.

you guys know of any good aftermarket ones i can look at new? I really don't have a ton of money for this because i just unloaded on tint, HIDs and other s*** haha, so depending how much i can get for my leather seat, i'll see what i can spend on a bucket/racing seat that are probably comfy as s*** haha. So somewhere around the $500 range would be good, and something cloth, black preferably.

My lower back starts hurting pretty badly in any trip over an hour.
i know i didn't specify in my post, but those lil red x's are pics of blue Corbeau CR1's in wide version that i had in my previous car (zx2).....they weren't too bad, just not for trips longer than 2 hours or so. good for daily driving...... they defintiely sat lower than my factory seats.
