Well I am in the process of changing over my interior from poop brown to black. I figured that now would be a good time to upgrade my seats aswell, the ones I have are getting a little worn and well...they are brown.. There are a couple seats that I am looking at. I dont want to drop a ton of cash, but at the same time, I don't want garbage. My top picks right now are the Yonaka Katana, Buddy Club Race Spec, or any of the FRP F1Spec seats.

I was wondering if any of you guys know of something that is of similar price and similar style. I think I would like to stick with a bucket, but I kind of like the fact that the yonaka can recline. Any feedback on any of these seats would be great also. Thanks.

i have the buddy clubs in the large version..

they are okay for what they are. probably the best of the seats in the price range..ie. chargespeed.

there is a bit of flex to them but they are worth the price. check these out also

I fixed the links. The last link, my fav is the type III. As for being skinny, ive got it covered.

Oh and the Yonaka are no where near the MSRP. I can get them for like $350 shipped for a pair.

BRIX II all the way!

You can't really go wrong here. When I sold my last S13, I left my BRIX II in it. Now I'm wishing I had taken it out. That thing was the greatest. I'm 6'0, 175lbs, and it fit like a glove. I also had a friend who was 5'7 and about 120lbs. It also fit them like a glove. Go figure...

If you really want cheap seats, get some Cobra Suzukas.

Or just look around in the FS section here.

Super cheap seats.

Bride is for egotistic bastards who waste way too much money on their seats and thus hoping that others will respect them in their quest to be the coolest kid on the block.

Thus is the reason why I rock one.

Zeta III L because I'm chubby.

Zeta III L because I'm chubby.

Zeta III L is taller

I don't think its wider, is it?

I've never sat in an L before just regular Zetas so I can't tell ya

Unless you guys want me to start sitting in your seats before I ship them lol

But I'm more a RECARO man myself
