Default kinda new.

i've been a member for about year or so but i've never post i forgot i was registered. but let me introduce myself. my name is bethany and i drive a 99 EJ8/EK whatever u wanna call it. its standard and all thats done to it is suspension mods but i have plans for my little car. heres a picture of it.





but needless to say my question is which racing seats should i get... the ones that are in my budget are:
Yonaka Racing Seats (reclinable)
Sparco REV Seats
Sparco PRO 2000 Seats
Sparco EVO Seats

I'm looking for comfort and support any suggestions?

also, you might already know about these, but IMO the recaro reclinable seats look sexy to me

very nice, i like the car too (don't act like you didn't expect that posting in a predominantly male community haha)

as far as your choices of seats i do NOT recommend the yonaka's. they are not the least bit comfortable at all. i had them in my EJ1 and it was one of the main reasons i hated driving that car.

given this information i absolutely under no circumstances recommend getting the yonaka seats haha. i had a 40 minute drive each way to work and i HATED every minute of it. What is your budget for seats?

ok, i assume you want something still reclinable (that's another downfall about the yonaka's, they are reclineable but the mechanism is basically worthless) so that makes it tough to find some genuinely nice seats. have you considered going with GSR seats? they are very comfy, relatively cheap and they have the lumbar support which is very nice. you can also go with seats like s2000's if you can find a decently priced set. I'd stay away from del sol seats unless you are about 6'0" tall, which you deffinetely don't appear to be. i had them and they sit a little low for my liking and i am 6'0".
