Spoon bucket vs Mugen bucket seat ? (photos also)
Owners of both seats - please tell about what you like or dislike in Mugen or Spoon bucket seats.
Anyone has photos of Spoon bucket? I cant find them nowhere - always small pics.

Re: Spoon bucket vs Mugen bucket seat ? (itr_18)
I believe that ep gonzolez has the mugens you might want to hit him up, shawn hillard is the only person I know of that even owned a set of the spoons... I could be wrong... good luck, some dude is selling a set of mugens with mugen rails in the fs forum for 2 grand which si a godamn steal considering how much those seats are.

two schools of thought... the Spoon seats have less padding so that the driver feels more input from the car...
some race drivers prefer to remove the padding in their bucket seats so that they can feel the chassis better.
they say you feel what the front of the car is doing through your arms/steering wheel and you feel what the rear of the car is doing through your butt/seat

I'm curious why Mugen can't make better rubber seal around the harness holes. For all the Mugen S1 seats I've seen, all of them have those rubber seals seperated.
The entire seat is awesome, except for that little detail.

Re: (Wai)
The Mugen seat is made of a FRP.
The Spoon seat appears to be carbon-kevlar (from the weave on the back)
Maybe this accounts for some of the difference too??

Have not sat in the spoon but i can say the S1 is very comfy. Would have never thought it but after months of seat time it's

Re: Spoon bucket vs Mugen bucket seat ? (JUN.R)
A Spoon seat is NOTHING close to Mugen seat in terms of price.. Check it up buddy.
Mugen is "only" 899 compared to spoons usual 1200+ price tag.

Re: (itr_18)
why only those 2 as choices?
Bride Zeta 3's are @ a whopping $610 per seat, and are very comfy and is a nice race seat aswell. 140 for rails and silders.
Thats $750 per side, not too shabby.
