Which seats do you prefer??!? - Page 2 - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

Neo Yakra · 06-01-2004, 11:50 PM

I have to disagree with most of you....Sparco makes a decent seat.....yeah recaro and bride are more expensive but....on the track there all FIA certified...meaning quality! and last time i checked sparco and recaro are seperate companies under one corporation!

All and all look at the rally drivers.....and look at the D1 drivers......
all three seats are used by the pro's

I just sold an old bride brix for a new sparco ultra.... believe it or not the bride payed for the ultra and then some, and i would have to say they both feel good.

I never doubted you, I just wanted to see how viable an option they are and how much work is involved making them fit.

FastBack 240 · 06-02-2004, 01:03 AM

Yea it didnt sound like a doubtful post. I will sure post pics when im done.

brianglawson · 06-23-2004, 02:41 PM

lets see the 350z seat in there man, i really wanna see it, as far as seats go, im thinking recaro, i was thinking corbeau but i want good fabric that wont tear easy, or fade easy, plus i want something strong!! i give seats hell, in everyday use, plus recaro has been making seats forever, so i would feel really good about there build quality

smellslikecurry · 06-23-2004, 02:59 PM

Make sure you get the Takata racing harnesses, those are dope shizzles...

brianglawson · 07-25-2004, 07:57 AM

most definatley recaros, i just installed my speed, and wow, what a delight it is

s14srpilot · 07-25-2004, 03:03 PM

Tenzo R all the way

420sx · 07-26-2004, 09:28 AM

^hah and you were the one dissing Ground Control. Tenzo R is junk.

Recaros fo life. no wander they go into porshes

wootwoot · 08-09-2004, 07:49 PM

sparco's cheap???? who said that, they must be loaded!
personally, i'll take corbeau

RedlineRacer · 08-10-2004, 04:36 PM

I love my S14 seats since I only paid $80 for them.

Tygma · 08-10-2004, 09:28 PM

Recaro speed

Hopefully anthony will sell me his... = )

Corbeaus smell like weed

cali240sxdrifter · 08-11-2004, 10:00 PM

where you guys get your Recaros at? I found this website, but doesn't seem trustworth.

lv-180sx · 08-11-2004, 10:52 PM

i have sparco speed seats and im pretty happy with them.. you must be pretty damn small to fit in them right though. the only downsides are getting in and out, no backseat use, and 2 inches above stock height...

willcheung · 08-12-2004, 02:49 AM

Shock leather seat i perfer the most, racing bucket seat is tight but not too confortable, some of em can not even recline. the best is shock leather racing seats, like from RSX-S, MRS etc

Tygma · 08-12-2004, 09:24 PM

if your speeds are too high, use a lower bracket

240eggsx · 08-30-2004, 01:17 AM

I'm 6'4" 195lbs. Just got a Sparco Pro2000 and it fits just fine. Little did I know but Sparco updated the seat cover... The wear areas are made of this rubberized pimply cloth. Here is the old model, new model looks the same except for the wear areas...

NI_YON_Zenki · 08-30-2004, 04:22 PM

Look, I'm 6-4" . The Bride Ergo has the best overall positioning for the length of my legs circulation for distance driving. plus I can readjust the seatrail if need be.

I was being sarcastic...and ground control still sucks!!

Brian W. · 08-30-2004, 07:37 PM

Kirkey racing seats are the best performance wise ive sat in. Sparco Pro2000s in our 911 are really nice too, but could use some lumbar support pads. I really like the way the Buddy Club fealt but its not FIA. =(

Doriftomodachi · 11-18-2004, 10:04 AM

No r32 gt-r seats in the poll? they sit lower than most seats except the full bucket seats

MakotoS13 · 11-18-2004, 11:42 AM

no corbeaus?

Maeda · 11-29-2004, 10:59 PM

NO CORBEAUS. Corbeau's are good for whatever 200$ you pay, but are still trash.

I hate Bride too but thats only because i'm fat and tall.

Sparco "evo-l for big boys" seats for me all the way.

SlideStar · 11-30-2004, 12:39 AM

Bride Seats for sure. But really, any old fixed back Carbon Fiber bucket seat will do. Bride seats are just nice because they are deep and well fitted.

*revat619* · 11-30-2004, 03:19 PM

I'd have to say Bride seats with a close second being Recaro. I've sat in almost all of the Bride and Recaro seats (buckets and reclinables) and they're both nice and very high quality. The one that fit me perfectly though was the Bride Zeta III which is why i put Bride as #1. That and the fact that Recaro doesnt really have a reclinable comparable to the Brix. Sparco's are cool, but the only one that i thought was comfortable was the Ultra. They're quality seats, but IMO, definitely not on par with Bride and Recaro.
