Installation

Cipher Auto® - CPA1000 Series Racing Seats Installation Instructions
Cipher Auto® - CPA1000 Series Bottom Mount Seat Installation Guide

Driving competitively requires a racing seat that lets you stay put. Hard cornering and braking constantly try to make you slide left and right, or forward out of the seat. If you're investing energy into staying put, that's mental and physical resources you can't devote to the most important thing: winning. That's true during street driving, at least the way they sometimes drive on the street. A stock seat simply doesn't have enough lateral support to keep your butt planted or your shoulders in one place so you can make precise inputs to the steering, accelerator or brakes. Cipher racing seats are optimized for "spirited" driving, and are engineered to work properly with 4- or 5-point racing harnesses instead of seatbelts and airbags. Upholstered in high-quality materials these seats also happen to look amazing.

Cipher 1018
I love the seats they look great. My only problem is the sliders I can't get the seat close enough for me.

They're not too bad. A little narrow.

Very Nice Look And Feel
These seats add a very nice look and feel from stock. Fairly easy to install, but I had to lower my rating because the installation instructions are pretty vague. In the video, they says the sliders are installed at the factory. They are not, and the instructions leave you guessing as to which way to place them and where to put the spacers. Not too hard to figure out for a semi seasoned tech, but a beginner could be left completely lost. Overall, once I got the orientation figured out, it was a breeze from there.

Racing Seats
These Cipher seats very good in my opinion. The cloth looks solid and so does the stitching. The seats do come with all hardware needed except for four bolts, nuts, and washers that connect the seats to the brackets. I simply went to my local hardware store to buy the missing parts. The manufacturer does offer them separately. Installation was easy and there is helpful YouTube videos provided by the manufacturer.

CPA1018 Seats
Not bad seats for the money. The look very similar to Sparco or Recaro offerings. Quality is not what you would get with Sparco or Recaro, hence the much lower pricetag.

Way better than stock
Stock seats were beat so I got these. Look nice and way more supportive than stock seats especially on long trips. Comfy for everyday too. No problems with install.

Out With The Old, In With The New!
There is definitely a learning curve to ordering and installing however I'm proud to say I accomplished it. Very, very comfortable seats, and flawless customer service.

Great Seats.
Fit amazing in my 81 280zx. Had to do custom brackets due to the car. The cloth is very nice looking. Still rear dark and hasn't sun faded even with no tint of my car. Now have had the seats in for over a year and still looking very good. Since I daily drive the car the driver seat gets lots of wear and tear but the seams haven't even starting coming apart.

Was nervous about ordering the seats but the quality is really good. Now what I did not know is the seats already come with a 4 point harness. Everything came except the brackets which are separate but some of my hardware fell out of the box somewhere being shipped.
