Sparco Sprint = good stuff.

I've had lots of time in R32 and Civic Si (EP) seats, both are wonderful, but I'd have to say the R32 seats are better and something I can live with, it's not showy and have shit written all over it.

Bride Zeta II or III depending on your size and the Recaro Pole Position.

Those are by far the most comfortable seats i have sat in. I used to want a reclinable, but then i tried the bride and recaro buckets. They're so comfortable! Like Aaron (Dousan) was saying, full buckets rock. I cant wait to get my zeta III! Anybody have one or know anybody that has one for sale!

Anyway, dont by cheap quality seats. Stick with Bride, Recaro, and Sparco. Corbeau is ok i guess. I dont like their seats. IMO, the fabric seemed cheap and they werent very comfortable. But then again, some people love them. So its up to you. Another option could be skyline r32 gtr seats. They have excellent bolstering for a stock seat and pretty easy to get a hold of. Or you could just buy a set of cloth s14 seats or reupholster your leather ones.

By the way, has anyone tried the new LowMax seats from Bride? They seem like a quite good concept, being lower and closer to center. However, the one I've tried (the one with the helmet bolsters) was way too narrow to fit in. Are any of the new line more "american sized"?

I can only speak for the seat that I currently own as of now....the Corbeau A4's. They are a great seat....not sure where the "entry level" tag came from....I would consider Matrix seats or something of that calliber to be "entry level", but whatever...lol

Anyways...I paid close to $900 for both seats and both brackets. Only real issue I had with the rails is that I had to unbolt the slider portion of them to make the seat sit low enough for my comfort. Other than that, they're bolstered pretty well and hold my ass in like a glove during "spirited driving"..hehehe

Some folks also have issues with the quality of these seats. Mine (besides the two rips that I put in them while doing stupid things inside the car) are in almost perfect condition after a year and a half of use. They catch quite a bit of lint as well..bah....in the end...good seats for the cash IMO.

I'm fairly sure the Zeta type L is still the most "american sized" bucket they make, although that all depends on how "american sized" you are.

Still, I'd avoid them. Spend your money on a good seat, you'll want one someday and be kicking yourself for wasting the money on cheap ones otherwise.
Those are the seats I have (unmarked ones). They are really nice. I have a real Sparco and these are better in some ways and not in others. Not kicking myself yet. They are a little tight around my shoulders. They have a quality feel in the foam. Fabric is holding up well. They hold you in well. Seem to be well made as well.

The material quality on sparco and the fact you can get decent seats with FIA approval is what made me decide to change I have one corabeau forza in the passenger side and a sparco evo L (fat shit) for the driver side I am going to change to the sparco in the long run for both sides the fit and quality is far superior also the corabeau brackets and seats put my head to the roof and i am only 6'

My biggest complaint wth the corabeau was the fabric it is very thin and snags easily not to mention I hate that velour texture

"the Head"......I agree with you on that one. The fabric they use is not much to my liking. In the end...my Corbeaus are simply to tide me over until I can grab hold of some Brix II's

The cheap seats will tear, and are of bad quality.
I like brides, but their seats are a little bit higher in price.

I use sparco seats, i would not reccomend the speeds, or the sprint, as they suck balls for comfort.

I would also stay away from side mounted seats, as they are hard to mount in a 240 with the hump in the floor.

So that would leave us with the best bottom mount seat sparco makes.
The fighter. I have 2 of these and would not use any other seat. they are really comfy, and hold up well.

I have black ones but heres a pic of a red one. btw about $600 each with rails.

dont buy anything from what you listed above maybe with the exception of the Sparco Torinos....but even those are still kinda large and dont "mold" your body after some break in time....

check up on SCCA forums, Porsche forums, racing forusm and buy some seats used. Lots of people sell their Recaro SPG's for less than $500, ive seen them go for as low as $300 in excellent condition. Theres a reason why Sparco, Bride, Recaro, AAR, etc are pricey, but IMO Brides shouldnt be as expensive as they are...

oh yea , staty away from Corbeau, unless you like fading fabric, clinging fabric, lightly padded bolsters, and frame jabbing you in the gut

See....I have no issues with mine with any of the above (except for the clinging fabric ordeal even I complained above about). I feel no framing in my seats, fabric hasn't faded a damn bit...and yeah...maybe they aren't as padded as your more expensive seats, but still do a damn fine job. I daily drive in mine.....lots.....and not seeing any of this. Maybe folks who Auto-x more where sliding and moving around in the seat is more common do....hmmmm

To the original poster, Bottom of the line seat I would consider that is non oem are the Corbeaus. Why not try and find some decent s14, z32, or z33 seats? That would be a good compromise. You will learn its basically all out or nothing

p.s. How is the quality and fitment of Momo as well? I've been wondering this but nobody has much to say....They look light,hah..

I am fixing to order the Megan racing seats in the next week or so for my MKIV Toyota Supra....

After sitting in them while at Megan's shop, I am hooked...

They are dirt cheap, and the fabric is awesome quality...

I may be able to swing a nice discount if you guys are interested, I will see what I can arrange with Calvin (Owner of Megan)

For $200/each or so, it's a steal...

Buddy Club Racing seat. It is good for the skinny or slim. Its also rediculously light, I can seriously play catch with it. It seems flimsy but its pretty good. Just sit in one before you get it. Has a sub belt so get a 5 point or 6 point too. Its legal in Formula D, and I would assume in most if not all SCCA events.

There was some sparco I sat in that is very similar but I forgot the name, I'll pos that later when I visit my friends shop.
