Who has experience with some aftermarket seats? I'm looking at a pair of Corbeaus, but I'm open to other suggestions. Might try some ZJ seats, if i can find a decent color. I'm going to sit in some peoples seats this weekend at a club ride, but all input is welcome.

Are you really down with 200 per seat in a Jeep lol
Unless you're running some serious harness I see no reason for anything other than stock or ZJ. Unless you find some nice Honda seats and fab some brackets. s2k seats are dope

Before I got my XJ I was looking at yj's an found one with RX-7 seats, supposedly the brackets bolted right up, not sure if that's true but they were sweet seats with crazy side bolsters to hold you in.

I've seen things about different brackets working, but I'm really only interested in the seats. I'll spend 200 on seats, that doesn't bother me, the bouncing around and off the B pillar does because my seat is like riding on a donkey falling off a cliff does bother me.

I'd run a 5 pt harness when I do my cage.

That doesn't even make sense

You clearly need seats that will work with brackets

I know someone local who has the Acura RSX seats. They are nicely done. I think he had to build brackets though.

The next time I have cash to go to the junkyard, I'm getting the seats out of a junked Mazda 626LX (1988-1992 generation). I drive one of these cars as a DD and the seats are awesome.

Actually they are pretty comfy, more padding than it looks.
