I`ve used ITR seats and Torinos. I`d like a set of Recaros, but wouldn`t pay that much for seats. The Torinos are good enough.

The best bang for the buck I feel are the Corbeau Carreras or A4's. If $$$ was no object, some black SRD's would be nice. Those Bride's are lovely BTW.

brides are ill as ****, but 1k for a seat? is a lot, the cheapest i foudn them were like 750 no rails, what color is your car? if you have a dark color, i'd say red, if you have a light color, get black? heheh my opinion though....heheh brides are DOPE

my car is silver, i think black is my only option for brides, oterwise id jsut get some recaros if i was gonna get red. so far my best price ive found is jsut under a grand with rails. mugen and zeta buckets are nice, but i need something with reclne seeing as this is a daily driver and i have a bad back.

those are friggin comfortable seats!!! i had a sparco seat, and quite honestly, it was killing my back. soooo, stick to either OE seats, or adjustables.

my suggestion---> usdm recaro srIII or whatever the u.s. versions name is.

actually I like my fixed position (nonrecliners) SPARCO Ultras in my EG.... just be sure to get a rollbar. only 12 pounds each... only way to get a lighter Sparco is to go with a carbon fiber unit at double the cost and save only a few pounds.
