Has anyone tried the Buddy Club Racing Spec Sport seats? Please post pics if you have these in an EK.

Thinking of picking up a set myself in August. What color were you thinking?

They look like '32 GTR seats, I like them!

The reds look best, not too sure how well they would suit my car though.

I have a growing respect for Buddy Club, which is something I never thought I would say.

I really like BC seats....never got to sit in them though.

I may sell my Recaros and swoop a set... the price is right.

Not terribly new, I saw them a few years ago online and then at ECHM maybe a year later. Just seem to be gaining a little popularity now it seems.

I bought them a few months ago and have now used them in a few autocross sessions and recently drove to Import Alliance from near VA Beach area. Review, I find them at least as comfortable as my Euro R Recaro's were but have the snug hold of the Speeds I had before the Euro R's. Fabric is holding up well thus far, I daily and autoX them, and I love the quick release they have for quickly tossing something in the back seat (like my lunch bag). That was something I missed about my Speeds when I switched to the Euro R's. Being a bottom mount seat, I picked up Bride RO rails and used the needed Buddy Club adapter plate as the actual seat mounting locations are more inboard the seat where the RO rail is outboard. That being said, they will sit a little higher than you might be used to with the RO rail. But at 6ft tall and a helmet on, I can still move my head free and clear to see while on the local autoX courses.

I've sat in the Spec seat in a miata before, they're pretty slim. Size 34 is a snug fit already.

Any more reviews on these? Comfort, quality of materials, sturdiness?

I have read of one person having the seat back quick release lever breaking.
