What's a good budget seat you would recommend for me then? i'm mainly looking to get a matching pair and my budget is around $400 maybe more. I'm very interested in the budget seats in the group buy section by sonicmotors. Are those any good?

Brian

If you have a TINY budget, playing cars probably isn't the best idea....

You could just get a used seat.
I got my used Recaro for around $350.

I prefer a used name brand seat over a knockoff.
The materials and build are usually better.
I have some used Sparco Evos for close to your budget, if you're interested.

Why do you go there? Well the best thing you can do on a budget is to check the zilvia marketplace everyday. You can usually find really good deals on parts just make sure you dont low ball. Second would be to have fellow S-chassis friends, they can sometimes give you deals on parts as well.

$300!

Then i believe you should focus your time, effort, and finances elsewhere.

Think about your future, then after you are set up by 24, start playing.

seriously kid, think about it.

dont get knockoffs, ther dangerous! so ive heard, in accidents! go oem rather then knock off.

Meh it's not THAT expensive messing with cars.
I had a lot of fun on a low budget buying a stock crx si & autoxing it every other month.
just depends on your goals and budget.

Oh man dailying a bucket seat can be a pain, I never did it but all of my friends do. Everytime I enter their drivers seat I'm scared I will rip the side of the bucket so I try so hard to not swipe the sides of the bucket seats as I get in.

Personally I would do it just because it makes me feel good sitting in a bucket seat anytime. Yeah there are a lot of low profile stock type bucket seats that hold you well. The recaros that come in the evos are pretty good for daily driving and still look good.

getting aftermarket bucket seats to daily drive you car imo is like overdoing it. There is nothing wrong with the seats it comes with. I have a 1989 240sx driver seat in my car. I actually like it way better than a bride brix seat (replica) which I removed (since it came with my car.)

Thanks for the honest opinion, i really just need some new seats. As because my stock ones now the bolsters are gone so if during any cornering i have a metal bar going into my kidneys. as far as buying a bucket for a daily, i figured if im getting seats. might as well get some nice looking buckets to be baller with. but i do like the idea of doing s14 or r32 seats. how much do these run?

ManoNegra

get a set of s14 seats and save your money for something better
I daily on R32 seats only because I got them in a trade

Also, just be careful getting in and out of them. Generally, wear appears on side bolsters first, so try to be cognizant of this and avoid it.

I wore a Recaro SPG to shit back by treating it like any other OEM seat, which you can't really do if you want to keep it looking nice.

!Zar!

Don't forget that you will need a rail also.

Don't want to have a seat and not use it because you can't afford $200 on a rail.

ditto. And I dont know about now but a couple months ago when I was looking for a rail, I searched EVERYWHERE I found 1. There was a giant shortage seriously.

fckillerbee

And this is coming from a guy that has a full cage in his car too.

I daily my 14 with recaro's. the seat is super comfortable, getting in and out...meh...you get used to it. its more annoying when your tired.

ilia

I daily a Bride Artis 1. It feels great! just make sure you get one that fits you very well, and you'll be comfortable all day long.

Got a pair of Sparco SP 2000's for a deal. i'm please

Daily a Recaro Pole Position right now, it's not bad. On that note, the 997 Turbo seats are the most uncomfortable seats I've ever suffered through.

I daily'd my Sparco seat... not comfortable... bad ass when drifting...
but when i wanted to lean back, or recline for some bombies...which was about 75% of the time in the daily, it sucked...
love the stock 13 BUCKET seats lol

i daily a bride vios III

feels better than stock

lower back starts to feel it after long periods but its because of my buddy club rails which sit higher so i slouch a bit

NAMS rail is best bet with a bucket

I have Bride FaG Rails on my Recaro SPG

I had a corbeau bucket that I dd for about 3 years till the bracket broke. Picked up a Sparco pro 2000 with Bride low max rails for $450 for everything. I also have a s14 passenger seat both seats with 4 point harnesses. Sparco is amazingly comfortable. Even on a daily 2 hr commute to and from Oxnard to Torrance.

FaLKoN240

I would do 8 hour drives to and from San Diego in my Bride Artis III and I never had any problems with being comfortable.

I did however have problems with my lower back in STOCK S13 seats after driving for more than 20 minutes.
