Default Aftermarket Seats

Ok, so I'm 6'3 and tired of sitting so high up in my car (and barely being able to wear a helmet), and the EP3 seat bracket is part of the seat, so I need a different seat.

Preferences:
First off, I'd like something under $500, and need one that is reclining. I realize the DC5 seats are an option, but I'd rather not have leather (or used). I'd also like to avoid extremely cheap or garish material.

Other than win the lotto so I can buy some Recaros, any suggestions?

TIA

Finding a seat and buying rails for under $500 sounds like you're going to have to go with cheap....

If you don't want DC5 Leathers look for Base cloth DC5 seats

seriously, less than $500, good luck, but like Zack said try finding stock base rsx seats....or you can get some knockoff type-r seats from robear for like 400 shipped with the sliders

Well, technically I'm just looking for the drivers seat and wasn't including the sliders or rails in that. I just don't want someone else's worn out, ripped, faded crap, but I'd also like something that isn't going to be unsafe in the event of a crash.

still $500 for one seat will be hard to find, especially if you want quality....but my Corbeau's were $450/each extra $100 for the slider

Wow, thanks for the input guys. I really like the Corbeau A4, and the price (incl. brackets and sliders) fits in my budget.
Cool.
