Lets talk seat upgrades

[rancid240]

Recaro, Blitz, Momo, Sparco etc.


What do you have, how much was it, and what do you like?

Are buckets comfortable enough for a daily driver?

I want to replace the s13 bucket driver seat with an s14 seat, but I have some extra cash so I figured why not pick up a used racing seat. Probably something ~250 if its remotely possible. Also is it fine to straight bolt up a seat with custom brackets or are sliders recommended?

I like the upsidedown milkcrate bolted to the bottom of the car

[drift into a curb]

I prefer soda crates, the Coke crates sit alot lower :p

Hmm, I prefer Recaros. I've driven an s2k with the Recaros and it holds really well with ultimate comfortabilty. Most likely going with Recaro's in my integra. I have yet to test out Bride Brix or Ergos, but I've heard great stuff from everyone. For $250 total, you won't find much but s14 seats or one of those r1 racing seats or tenzo.

bride brix

racing seat that's reclinable.

perfect for me.

recaro is comfy
rails suck

sparco is ok
rails suck

buckets SUCK for daily driving. its not easyto get in and out of them. i used to own one. if you go race seat for daily driver, go reclinable. if you race a lot, then go bucket

i tell ya i'd like to know which seats sit too high...aren't 240's infamous for aftermarket seats(some) sitting way too high?

[Dousan_PG]

ACK
its not the seat! its the rail slider

this is how japan seats are:

SEAT
rail/slider combo (car specific)


this is how usa brands are (sparco, recaro, tenzo, etc)

SEAT
Slider (universal)
rail (car specific)


the universal slider adds about 1" and the rails are usually slightly higher, so puts you about 1.5 to 2 inches up

go japanese rails. its LOW.

Bride Ergo is wat i would take. kinda like the Brix. juss gotta save up 500 bucks for them hehe*giggles like a skool girl*

I plan to get a set of Sparco EVO 2's in the near future.. those seats are SWEET.. and comfy as hell..

[Annoying Eric]

I have s14 seats in my s13. I personally think there awesome.. There so much more comfortable then stock s13 seats and they look 100 times better..

If your looking for Sparco's, I have a friend selling a pair of red Brand new Sparco torino's.. There located in Queens.. His name is Byran and you can call him to find out about them. His number is 917-418-4031....

Hate to go against the grain yet again, but I like the look and feel of the original s13 seats (with the fixed headrests) :P

[rancid240]

s13 fixed headrest seats + rush hour = trip to chiropractor

Hey are the s13 non fixed headrest seats much better? Did they come stock in coupes? :confused:

I have to agree. I personally think my OEM fixed headrest seats kick ass. :D

[AKADriver]

The stock monoform seat has a few issues that annoy me...

The headrest slot is too small for harnesses.

The outside upper bolster wears too quickly, and when it wears you get metal seat frame poking into your ribs on hard rights. At least I do.

No thigh bolsters whatsoever means I'm bracing my legs against the door and center stack.

I don't mind them for street driving, but on the track they're worthless.

I'm probably going to get a set of S14 seats, that still have no thigh bolstering but they at least have room for harnesses and don't poke me in the ribs.
