Default Racing Seats

Ok since no one can answer my last question. Can anyone tell me how much the seats weigh in a 93 honda civic coupe. I want to buy some new seats that are more comfortable because mine hurt the hell out of my back and I saw some that weigh like 9 pounds which sounds kick *** but they are like $700 a piece...I'm not rich so I'm trying to find something lighter and comfortable but that isnt over maybe $300 a piece... So can anyone tell me if they know of any seats....and how much do the stock seats weigh...thanks in advance.

Yeah I just noticed I need to learn to spell....well any seat really that is a reasonable price below 300 dollars. I was looking at sparco...but can't afford the really light ones. Thanks for the reply back though.

nex racing makes seats that are both lightweight and cheap. i believe they weigh ~14 pounds and a set of 2 costs around 300. cheap

they are full on race seats so they do not recline. i have yet to sit in them but i imagine they might be a little sub-par. remember the old adage, you get what you pay for. at 300 a set i wouldn't be expecting too much.

check around ebay

I have a set of Nex seats and I like em... Golden Apple distributes them. They aren't as comfy as say some Corbeau CR-1's but non reclinable seats aren't known or made for comfort... But I like em. Good quality fiberglass shell. I'm thinking of getting some Sparco lumbar supports tho. Oh and I bought mine from http://www.streetracingonline.com Good service, I got them in 3 business days...even tho I got emailed the tracking # the day they arrived, after they had already been delivered. But they had good communication and pretty fast service.

You're really limited by the $300 pricetag....it's either Nex or swap some stock Honda seats in... preludes or del slo...

Keep your stock seats and fix up your engine.
