Racing seats
Hey guys couple questions about some racing seats. Ive seen some brands like Sparco, MOMO, Bride, Recaro etc. But I have heard their really uncomfortable for daily driving. Right now I have 99 SI seats and as far as "racing" go they hug you and they are comfortable.
ANy thoughts on seats?

i had a set of tenzo r recaro knock offs a long time ago, and when my cage was installed, they sat too high, so went back to the stockers, and will be going with kirkeys to get a little lower in the future.
although the tenzo's were pretty comfortable.

Best bang for the buck seats are 94-97 integra seats. You can feel a huge difference if your coming from 96-00 stock civic seats. Installing these seats made me sit lower (which i prefer), you also sat closer to the shifter (big one for me, im 5'8 and asian damn...) and lastly these seats made my car look alot better.
Honestly though, you can upgrade to recaro's, which are nice, but too expensive in my book. Unless you have the money for them, your car is a weekend car and the theft rate in your area isn't bad then Recaro's are right for you.
Cost me $80 for my set of mint grey integra seats. If your lucky you can find them anywhere from $50-$400, price varies on color and condition.

Seeing that you own a EM1, i wouldn't put too much work into unless its your weekend car. Def. get a DEI alarm installed w/ extras.
My little bro's EM1 has been broken into 3 times since he bought it. Thankfully i convinced him to get a alarm installed (installed by Desmon, a.k.a wrx-killer-Sti-eater) and it saved his car. Because of the theives he now has to replace both doors since the theives tried prying open his doors.
