1 Recaro Speed... or 2 cheaper racing seats? What would you do?
So I am a teenage Subway worker still in high school and a car enthusiast. I plan this late spring and early summer to have my suspension upgraded (H&R Sport Springs with KYB AGX shocks). Then after that, I need something that will hold me in during hard cornering. I have 2 options
Option 1. Buy 1 (one), red Recaro Speed for myself.
OR
Option 2. Buy 2 seats ( driver and passenger ) but they're gonna hafta be cheaper. Like Tenzo-R, or R-1, or something cheap like that.
Im leaning towards the one Recaro option. I really dont care what the other person gets to sit in. I would rather get to sit in a beautiful Recaro than in a cheaper seat, and have 2 of them.
But'd id like to know your opinion on the matter! It never hurts to know what other people think!

If you plan on partaking in track days, most organizations require that the driver and instructor have similar restraint and seating.
Just save your money until you can afford a pair of decent seats. For the street, unless you're driving like a jackass, theres no 'need' for more supportive seats.

Re: (-$melly$poon-)
save for a matching pair. I would rather have both stock over one nice seat. it just shows you cant afford both if you only have one. But dont get tenzo's or any of that crap.
i would pry vote for 2 lesser expencive sparcos.

Get 2 seats. Trust me, it makes your car look 100% less ghetto. When I had 1 Sprint in my car, people always be asking me why I only got one. So I bit the bullet and got another one, looks great.
