Mazda MX-5 Bucket Seat Guide
The MX-5 story...
The Mazda MX-5 MK1 and MK2 has become one of the most popular track cars we work with. The MX-5 MK1 was manufactured during (1989-1997). The MX-5 MK2 was manufactured in these production years, (1998-2005). Â
Once you start using your MX-5 for fast road and track use, you’ll soon realize just how much you need new bucket seats to provide more support.Â
On cornering, you may find your self holding onto the steering wheel tighter than usual, tensing your thighs and legs against the central console and/or door card. You’ll probably find your weight shifting in the seat and having to re-position your self after the corner.Â
None of this is correct. Your seat should provide the right level of support so that you can grip the steering wheel only for steering, your legs should be supported and your weight shouldn’t shift around. The recommendations we provide are to ensure that you feel comfortable and supported allowing you to focus on the job at hand.Â
We’ve worked closely with our customers to create our Mazda MX-5 seat guide.
The resulting recommendations are based on previous customer car installations.
Recommended brackets:
We recommend the Endurance Motorsport side mounts for all side mounted bucket seats.
We also recommend the Cobra adaption bars for our recommended base mounted reclining seats.
Option 1: Reclining seat – adaption bar – Original sliders – VehicleÂ
