I am looking for a good seat for my 2gb dsm was looking into evo 9 eats but they are going for $700-$900. I was looking at alternatives such as ebay seats. http://www.ebay.com/itm/360939605889. I do know not alot of seats go well in dsm and was wondering if anyone had any experience with these or something similar and would it be worth the extra money for authentic ones.

I have tan interior the blue evo 8 seats would look horrible
6" tall
 
I don't care for the cheap seats much just because they are made in china with cheap materials and that's what I'm going to be sitting in. I don't plan on ever wrecking my car but if I do I don't want to rely on cheap seats to save my life. Look up on you tube, image search, or something showing the inner structure of the different seats. Then you'll see what I'm saying. Now the outside of them I think they look fine and the cheap price is attractive but If you save just a bit more you can have nice seats you feel safe in instead of good enough. Just my opinion.
I've had recaros, stock seats, and cheapy "race" seats apart and the difference in the metal structure convinced me to only go with stock or reputable name brand aftermarket.
I would look to maybe to a newer eclipse seat. You can find a bunch of threads on other cars stock seats in a dsm. Make a list of one's you like then look them up on web, salvage yard shopping, craigslist, etc.
The thing with any of these seats is you will have to make or buy brackets to get them to fit. So keep in mind you will have to buy more than just the seats unless you can fabricate brackets yourself.

I like the 4g eclipse spyder seats. s2000, celica, genesis, tiburon, oh here...... http://www.dsmtuners.com/threads/oem-seats-from-other-cars.369443/
Some of those you could get cheap. Maybe as cheap as knock off race seats.

Less than $300.
