Default What Real Racing Seat you like or think is the best ???? Carbon ? Carbonkev ?

So looking to see what people like and want and think is best.

There is
Sparco
Recaro
Bride
Mugen
Spoon sports
F1specs
Memoryfab
Cobra
Momo
Corbeau
OMP
Racetech
Buddyclub
Kirkey racing (aluminum)
Rennsport systems
UltraShield (aluminum)
STATUS

There is probley alot more but I think I coverd the mane top ones.
And some are FIA and not and or could be.


I realy want to do the Sparco S light CF but its $2,900 each but I can get it cheeper just not much off. and the fact that they only have like 10 or less in the usa.

Bride, Cobra, OMP, and Recaro are the best on your list.

Kirkey, Mugen, and Spoon are all great quality but they're not comfortable at all.

Memoryfab is just a knockoff of Spoon and Recaro.

Buddy Club and Momo are so-so.

Corbeau and Sparco are absolute garbage. Stay far far away.

I don't know much about the rest.

Kind of intresting.
I dont see how sparco is absolute garbage when they are one of the top used by choice by race car drivers and they have to pay for them.
Not to take a way from your open ( I cant spell well at all.)

Maybe they don't care about fading, dry-rotting fabric. Or maybe they only use them for one season and replace them before they fall apart. Or maybe they just go by the names they see on the cars in Super Street. I can't really explain it.

If I was fully sponsored by Sparco I'd throw the seats in the dumpster and use something with a little quality.

my buddy has had a pair of sparco torinos in his integra for 2 years now and they have no fades or rips. Sparco seats rank up there with the top seat manufacturers...

You're opinion is irrelevant, if Sparco sucks so bad why does Formula One, Nascar Winston Cup, CART, IRL, and WRC use there equipment?

My opinion isn't irrelevant, but thanks for your input.

Some of their shells are FIA approved to safely hold you in place and they sponsor plenty of teams so I guess that's why they use them. But for someone trying to actually PAY for a seat that will last more than a season Sparco isn't the answer.

I've seen too many Sparco seats fade and rot. However, I'm glad your friend's haven't torn apart yet and I wish him luck in the future.
