Default Last upgrade for my civic

I was in the process of saving up for a good turbo set up or a K, but I decided that the Civic is just so good to me that it will always be the DD. A couple of weeks ago I started a much cheaper project, one that I have always wanted to do.... ....GIXXER Kart...... ........The last thing I want to get for the civic is a good pair of seats......I know about RSX leathers and EP3 seats, Recaros and Sparcos; but it just seems that all the seats that I find are around 800$ for only ONE seat....my question is, are there any seats that are around 400-500$ a pair that are good seats? I can find cheap seats all day, but I have no idea how reliable these can be since there off-brand.If any one knows a good site or company to check out I would really appreciate it.....if your going to say this has been covered or search.......... sit and rotate.......

P.S. Happy Thanksgiving HT members

Your best bet is to buy used JDM recaros. They are roughly 1/2 the price of the new ones. I don't think you will find a seat that is comfortable enough to daily drive around in at the $400-$500 dollar price range.

prehaps for your price range, you should look into some TenzoR seats. they are usually the cheaper alternative to Recaros, Sparco, etc.

theres no official site i can give you, but try searching on google.

2 seats on K2motor go for around 300...dont know if theyre comfortable or not...but its a good price considering they ship for free too.

Tenzo-R seats...and all products for that matter, are garbage. I would go as far as to say Tenzo's seats are flat out unsafe.

I also would not buy that seat from k2. Corbeau is about as inexpensive as you will pay for a quality seat, short of going for another OEM seat.
