Default What is the best seat for HPDE/street car?

Guys,
I am possibly in the hunt for an aftermarket seat... I have been looking at the Sparco line and I seem to like the Corsa or Rev line. However, I saw the sale at LTB Motorsports on Momo start seat.... Any opinions on seats? Does anyone know anywhere in CT or Mass I can try these seats out? Thanks!

I use a Momo Rookie - about half the price of the seats you are considering at <$300. It's great for a track seat and passable as a street seat (if I used it on the street, I would add a thicker lumbar pillow). Most of the racing buckets will fit tight enough to be uncomfortable with a wallet or cell phone in your pants (not much you can do, short of buying a seat that is too large).

I sat in Chris' Sparco Corsas this weekend and damn did they hug my body nicely.

However, you really shuld try before you buy - everyone is shaped differently.
