i don't know.... having an N/A Mz3 and getting seats that say mazdaspeed3... doesn't seem to fit right in my eyes. They do look good for that price though.

Just get some sparco/riccaro/or bride seats

Great if you get them for the $169, but you've got another $125 in shipping per seat.

No, that's per pair according to the listing. I couldn't deal w/black leather though. Seats that are that cheap are not liable to protect you well in a crash, or stay together very well inday-to-day life. A year or two from now they will probably look like sh*t.
Good seats start around $600 a piece and go up quickly from there!!

Also, if you have side air bags, what would you do about those?

well i don't race often i pretty much baby the car and well if i do crash...i'll prob crash at a very very high speed and these seats will not even save me...hopefully that does not happen but **** 100mph is a lot to crash at. If i was to get a nice REAL racing seat what will i do with the SRS how will it work out.

i have an altima and i love the seats in there the mazda 3 seats are too dam soft and when i turn hard i tent to slide in the seat I want a firm type seat and i like the way the racing seats feel. I will be racing later on down the road but right now i am not since the car is still new and what not.
