Need some sugguestions for bucket seats for my S14. I'm 6'1 and 165lbs.

I know its the best to actually sit in these seats but unfortunately its easier said then done. If anyone can chime in and make some recommendations on good seats that would met the following criteria:

1) Good bang for the dollar
2) reliable/safe (don't want the seat to fall apart in a crash)
3) can use good rails (like bride fg or nagisa)
4) good place to get order one

I'd like to keep my budget around $300-400 for a good seat

Thanks,
Paul

I wouldn't "recommend" either, but if I had to choose between the two, Buddy Club

Signal seats (i.e same as Chargespeed) are pretty flexy, moreso than I prefer

Buddy Clubs are probably best bang for buck in that price range, but the looks are so so (fabric pattern / material)

But can't be choosy when you are on a budget

Appreciate the referral, but please take note about what I am about to say

IF YOU FIND A BRIDE FG RAIL (for side mount bucket seats) IN STOCK ANYWHERE

BUY IT IMMEDIATELY

Even if you don't have a seat yet, but know you are going to get one for sure

BUY THE RAIL FIRST

Reasoning is because these things are never in stock, always on backorder, and not something you can get easily in a bind

Even if you have to pay full price, or pay $10-20 more, who cares, you want a good set of rails at least

Justin @ Westco was the last person I knew who had some in stock right now for S chassis

Has anyone tried out the wide version Buddy Club? cause I know, you have to be built like a japanese girl to fit in their regular seats.

Personally, I'm waiting for the new Panda Garage seats. Exact same as Thrash. blahzay blah.

I love my cheap Momo bucket. Uses bottom-mount (not Bride side-mount) rails/brackets, and can be found new for less than $300 sometimes. Very comfy, and I'm about the same size (too big for a Bride, for sure).

i have bride zeta III L and its really tight meaning my leg is really close to each other.. its hard to press the brake and gas.. my leg literally just stay at one position and kind of just swing your ankle.. but i got used to it and im keeping it.. im 6'0 and 170lbs.. my next seat would defin. be corbeau...momo or sparco... price is right and doesnt hurt my pocket

MomentumGT

I have the BC wide on my daily and like it, but a little flexy compared to my original Sparco EVO 2 but not by much. I'm 5'5 196lbs and if anyones ever met me in person I'm a cinder block with tree trunk legs. lol.

You have 2 holes in the middle?

I have the recaro pole position. It isn't in my car yet because the rails suck. I am in the process of making a custom bracket with the seat touching the floor.

i got spl, but you should get f1 spec seat, they are fairly priced and good rigid construction and also fit nicely. you can make your own bracket for the seat and make it lower etc. just a lil more work

Recaro Pole Position is a good entry level seat. I can fit comfortably at 38" waist.

Yeah. FG rails are hard as fuck to get.

Buy some now.

So you aren't assed out later.

I'm using fg rails and haven't had any issues with them.

The new nagisa D-lock looks to be better than their prior single lock.

Haven't tried it out but I'm pretty sure shits ok.

Recaro PP won't fit regular rails I think.

Something like they are too wide. But I'm not sure of that.

Logan educate me!

I know it works with nagisa rails, but you can only mount it on the upper hole and it takes a little persuasion to bolt it in to the floor.

i've sat in a few Racetech seats and like them a lot. I'm 5'11 and about 200lbs. Fits well. Just another brand to look into.

nvstyles

I have the corbeau forza and to be honest its just a little better than my s14 seat. not comfy at all. and doesnt hold me in well. im 5'7'' 170lbs. i wouldnt recommend the forza.

I love my Status Ring GT. However, its not the most affordable seat. But for FIA approval, you're going to spend some $$$. All depends on your taste vs. wallet.

Dude. Seriously. Are you serious? You cannot get a cheap seat that will feel like bride, or hold up like a sparco.

the only thing I will tell you Is that you get what you pay for with seats. Even more so than wheels. Sparco Pro 2000 is the only thing I would reccomend for your application.

i will never get the mentality of " i want good quality, but i want it to be stupid cheap". If you want good stuff, just pay for it and be done with it instead of all this other nonsense....

To contribute, look at the Sparco Pro 2000, Zeta III sport, or at the very least, the Buddy Club one. Signal seats are a joke.

kirkey racing if you want lowball cheap. i even snagged a pattern so i can make my own. making the seat and upholstering it will cost me less than $100

Are you kidding me? Buddy clubs flex like crazy. EVERYBODY knows this.

Sparco/Bride/Recaro is where it's at.

To the OP: I highly recommend going to a local dealer and trying out seats for yourself. What one person finds comfortable, you may find unbearable. When I was looking at seats I tried out a panda garage, a signal, a buddy club, and several others. I ended up going to a local sparco dealer and sat in a sparco circuit, sparco pro2000, and two sizes of the evo. Both the evo1 and pro2000 fit my frame correctly, but the pro2000 just felt really uncomfortable (tight in some places, loose in others, protrusions cause interference with elbows when turning), whereas the evo fit perfectly. FYI I'm 5'11, 175. I would look into the evo1 or pro2000 and maybe some of the smaller brides and recaros.

Bottom line is that you won't find a seat in your price range that meets all of your requirements, unless you get a good deal on a used one or settle for something uncomfortable like a kirkey.
