I'm looking into getting a Mugen S1 bucket, but I wanted to see what some people thought first since I can't sit in one before I buy it. I currently have a set of JDM ITR Recaros in my car, but I'm looking for something with a little more support. I've sat in a Bride Zeta2, and a Sparco Evo, and I found the Bride to be a little narrow, and the Sparco Evo was ok, but nothing to write home about. I've driven in neither, so its hard to say if I would like either one when driving. My car is a daily driver first, road racer second so comfort is a big issue for me. I haven't read many reviews on here, and its difficult to search since s1 is too short. Just see a bunch of FS threads when I search for Mugen bucket. So what do you guys think? Would my JDM Recaros be better for daily driving? Or would the Mugen S1 be ok? Or any other suggestions would be cool too.

 

If you feel the Zeta's are narrow then the S1 will not be the seat for you. I think they are narrower than the Zeta's. Recaro SPGs might be better off for you.

There's no way you're daily driving a road race car.

Also, if you really had a road race car, I'm sure you'd be looking for a FIA approved seat.

 

I had an S1 in my street car and it was plenty comfortable daily driven.

Zeta 2 gets the from me crappy material crappy quality etc.

Recaro SPG and the S1 are great seats I would personally get a SPG

 

If you are planning on using it in a daily driver you shuld also consider a quick-release steering wheel system as getting in and out can be a pain. I run a sparco sprint in my teg for track/autocross, but i take it out of the car for daily driving. Ive heard good things about the Status seats, and the buddy clubs come in a wider size as well and look very similar to the S1.
