Default Suspension seats???

Any ideas for converting front bucket seats to suspension seats with a retrofit system or possibly entire new seats? This would be for a 24 Skater and possibly a 308 Skater.

Those suspension systems are ridiculously priced. Obviously been feeding on the government Tit too long.

You may also look into the side by side off road type suspension seats. They don't use the fancy hydraulic seat bases, they just have webbing or bungee cord material as a shock absorber under the seat cushion. They make a huge difference in the RZRs. PRP, Twisted Stitch, Pro Armor are a few brands to look at to see how they work.

Shockwave now offers a standalone seat base that is pretty reasonably priced, they are around $800 or so.

P,
Are they mounted on a pedestal or on the floor?
Thanks,
