Default What are some good Aftermarket Seat brands besides Bride, Sparco & Corbeau?

I'm looking to get rid of my factory front seats for something aftermarket with a better feel.

I will not be using a racing belt harness, just my regular seat belts.

My question is what are some good quality Seat brands I can look up other than Bride, Sparco & Corbeau.

I've seen alot of bootleg brands with $250 which I assume are very shitty quality.

I'm looking to spend somewhere in the ballpark of like $600 or less

For 600 or less?

I woud just stick with some GSR seats, Del Sol seats or some JDM sir seats.

Sparco, Recaro, Bride etc will cost more than 600 for the pair.

Some EbAy brand seats arent as bad and half-assed as some people claim they are. Mine are generic, but are very comfortable and have done wonders for me in autocross.

Those look pretty damn sweet.

Check this place out. http://www.racing-seats-usa.com/

You can get a pair of FX1's or Forza's for less than $600 and they are comfy as hell with all the back and lumbar support you could want.

Everything else on there looks out of my price range or ugly.

the JSR seat is the same as a NRG seat... i dont think your gonna find something thats awesome for 600.00 for a pair especially when you factor in rails and such, if you can find some del sol seats or GSR i thnk youll be good. if your willing to spend a bit more.. click the link in my signature and ill see what i can do for you

Wasn't there a thread just about those? They only have to reclining positions fully up or gangsta lean. Imo those look really nice.

I have NRG seats in my 97 coupe. They are nonreclinable but still very comfortable. A friend of mine has a set of Tenzo R's that are pretty decent too.
