Which in would be a better pick:
Mugen S1 Seat
or
Spoon Kevlar Seat

I would like to know because I will be buying one soon but I am not sure which one. Please give me advice on these two only.

 

neither and I`m being very honest

 

S1.

 

IGGY...I think that you need to find a smaller seat...

 

No i don't want to find a smaller seat b/c i think those are fine. i need to leave some room to grow. I started working out and usually gain weight, and those seats are not that much bigger than what i need

 

spoon

 

Mugen.

 

You must be tiny. I am a small guy and the Mugen S1 fits great.

I have never sat in the spoon but I really really liked the Mugen seat!

 

You could probably get 2 Mugens for the price of the spoon. Well, maybe 1.5 I like the Mugen better however.

 

I would go with the recaros coz they are much more comfortable than the mugen and spoon.

 

not for everyone.

I personally hate the way Recaros sit and think the mugens are very comfortable.

 

recaro spg

 

personally i'd sport the ITR seats!

 

Nice seat....and Iggy, this is what Lawerence has in his drag car...maybe have you sit in it the next time we're at the shop.

VS



The Mugen is 5.8 kg "per rail" - is that 5.8 total or 5.8 x 2?? = 11.6 kg

The Spoon is 5.7 kg total.

I would go with the lighter one.

 

Yea i remember i sat in that one! I liked it but it was the price of two Mugen's, thats too much money.
Right now I'm looking at Bride's, but I want imput on the two.

 

OMP makes nice Carbon, Carbon/Kevlar and fiberglass FIA homologated seats at a good price.

 

spoon

 

I'd get a seat that doesnt have a $500 name brand mark up......


sparcos are good, and recaros are awesome

 

go for something that is FIA approved. I had the Spoons in my car, freakin unbearable for normal driving.
I switched to Sparco Evo 2's. The detachable padding really makes everything more comfortable, and they have an FIA approval to boot.

 

I went from GSR leather ->Recaro SRD (USDM) ->S1

most comfortable seat i've sat in. less padding, but i love the seat I can drive long distances with no problem

I am not into racing but on occasion, have gone to track events.

make sure you sit in the seat you are going to purchase before hand. you don't want to waste your time and money having to go through as many pairs of seats as me. I am on my third pair of seats.

 

the evo 2s are great seats -- that's where my vote goes.

I would not take the Spoon or the MUGEN I hear they are not role over tested makes me kind of think WTF I would be spending my money on

 

so what happens in a rollover situation?

I am curious because I am not sure what happens with a mugen or spoon.

I am not sure what is required for FIA approval or why spoon or mugen did not choose to get it approved. $$$?
