Default what kind of seats do you guys have??

I have a set of corbeaus in my car but they are to big(padding that is) im 6'4" 170lbs and my knees are close to the bottom of the steering wheel/ bottom of the dash. My Seat wont go back any further due to the cage being in the way.. Just wondering if anyone is running a Kirkey seat or others that may have a thinner back to them..

Thanks in advance

My car is a streetable car as well so I didn't opt for a kirkey seat lol. I'm the first in a civic that I've seen to have a racetech seat.

This one to be exact. Really affordable and light, and is a great fit.

There usually isnt a rule on what type of seat to run. Most of the time the rules regarding seats say they must match and if they are not sturdy they should be braced onto the cage if applicable.

I had the understanding that it if the seat does not have sliders it must have a back brace connecting to the cage.

For this reason I went with the Sparco Sprint 5 seat with memory fab low seat rails.

I run Memory fab S68 carbon fiber. Its alittle expensive but they are super light and very comfortable they are in a streetcar that i daily drive and take 200+ mile roadtrips. I can pick them up with my pinky. They are 400 on their site without rails.
