I think I'm finally going to break down and get nice seats. I think I will go with the non reclineable since they are cheaper. What brands make a good one for cheap. I see Momo, Sparco, and what others. And what sites can I buy them from?

how big/tall are you?

you using this for street?

if you are going 1 piece racing shell seats, you will need a roll bar or roll cage to protect you in a roll-over

the jdm itr recaro seats are a comfy seat, great quality, and very supportive

if i had the money i would get those

 

6'2'' 125lbs. I don't race. And I don't want to spend more than $600 really, give or take a hundred.

 

why a roll cage if its a racing seat?

 

Yeah why would I need a rollcage with any seat I got, how are they more unsafe than a stock seat?

I'm not talking some kind of crude metal seat, I mean a fully unholstered seat, but not reclineable, and with holes for my harnesses.

 

thats why you need a rollcage

 

Rollcage for life.

 

I'm getting a four point rollbar Monday. I'd get Corbeau Forza's. I know of a place you can get 2 seats and 2 rails shipped for 620.

 

"I know of a place you can get 2 seats and 2 rails shipped for 620."

Pass it along.

 

http://www.importdirectusa.com 1-877-988-9284, that is what they quoted me when I called there a month or so ago.

 

most racing seats don't allow the use of the stock seat belts. therefore you need some kind of way to strap yourself in and a harness should be mounted to a roll cage to give you the most protection.

 

Corbeau Forza all the way, and if you are a larger (fatter) guy, get the Forza 2, for your plump racer.

 

lol thats great

 

620!!!! that is expensive as ******* hell......i can get two corbeau forza's shipped to my door for 550....reaction motorsport in fl.....

 

Yes the cheaper I can get these seats the better. Let me know of all these sites.

 

Nex. 398 shipped for a pair w/ brackets 100% fiberglass. 5pt harness aceptable (5th point in inbetween bottom cushin). 11lbs w/o bracket 14lbswith. varouse colors http://www.dragonintakes.com

i use them w/ my factory seat belts and havent moved a smidge. but see how my **** is routed. left side it thru, right side i go over to the buckle. can fit the strap thru the buckle but its un comfortable. snug as a bug doing it the way i have it set up. im small too

allof the fabric velcros off so you can wash it. head rest padding is removeable so you can fit a helmet in there. leave the pad on if your not wearing a helmet. hitting fiberglass doesnt feel good w/o a pad

How comfortable are those seats? It seems like they would be sorta uncomfortable? Im starting to loko for new seats...i drive my car ALOT every day so i need something comfortable. How hard were they to install...what type of brackets did you get? Thanks alot man.

i have mine at a 90* angle. if your not used to it its weird. however they're some of the most comfortable seats ive ever sat in.

comfort for me = sence of security ie not sliding around, great shoulder suport and hip suport

there is a foam pad in the lumbar area to suport your back

its a 2 piece bracket. they're L shaped. requires drilling into floor and mounting w/ non suplied bolts. bolts that mount brackets to seat are suplied. theres brackets do not allow you to slide. id imagine you could transfer a normal seat bracket and bolt it to the bottom of the supplied bracket then bolt back into stock location to slide around. ive drilled so many holes to mount a variety of seats so it wasnt a big deal to me.


i'll post pics of how i did it tomorrow. cam is out of bateries and my pc cable is at work.

my friend has a pair of those NEX's in his crx. MY thoughts about them are that there are perfect angle and comfy. the only part i realy dont like about them are that the shoulder parts are wobbly. but ill get them because its cheap

6'2" and 125lbs??? You serious??

 

hey here are some seats they are exactly like sparco only they are DAD racing seats they are pretty cheap only like 400 bucks for BOTH!! and they recline look into them i would if i wouldnt of got integra seats, but i'll send you these web sites right here. or go on ebay and type in racing seats.
http://search.ebay.com/search/search...ry=d+a+d+seats

http://search.ebay.com/search/search...y=Racing+seats

i would look at these i dont just trying to help you know so you dont pay that much well enjoy

 

that's what i was thinking. gezus man are you only made of bone?

 

This...

and

...don't all lead to the same answer and don't fit well together. A one-piece race bucket is designed for track use and is a huge compromise when used on the street (in terms of comfort, convenience, and safety).

What you should look for is a two-piece reclinable non-race seat with good lateral support. Also, if you care about safety and comfort, things like "the cheaper the better" shouldn't be in your vocabulary. You don't have to spend $1,500 on a pair of JDM Recaros to get quality seats, but you also shouldn't spend $300 for a pair of seats. Those are made to look good, but nobody in their right mind (or nobody who's sat in a quality seat) would want to sit in them for very long.
