Meh, I just sold a set of like new Corbeau racing seats a few months back for a total of $300 plus shipping. Deals are out there, man, just look for them.

Think of it this way: You cheap out, you die.

Do it right the first time or don't do it at all.

with seats, it is:

"Do it right the first time, or you won't live to try a 2nd time" ;)

you have a cage in and want to go cheap on seats?

what he said!

You put in a damn cage, and you are being stingy on the seats? Seriously?

What the hell is wrong with you??? The safety of the SYSTEM is only as safe as the weakest link,

you could have a 12 point cage with the funny car roll cage inside, all for not if the seat is a piece of crap and sends you flying into the steering wheel thereby impaling or crushing your chest.

<-- sometimes I wonder what the hell people think!!!

Hi,
Consider this seat: http://www.pitstopusa.com/detail.aspx?ID=55255 . I'm planning on going this route. I've been told by several guys in my sports car club, these are great for road racing at my level. You can choose a cover to match your needs, and the seat cover can be changed if you gain or loose weight (nice option).
Check it out! Van

thanks they look good for the price. what does everyone think about this seats? if not i guess oi am getting myself some sparco's:biglaugh:

Look in to Sparco seats. I think the Speed is pretty cheap at $300-400, it is also FIA approved.

the speed is a tube and cloth seat not the best for a roll cage application. if you want cheap light seats get kirkey intermediate seats great seat, great price, and as you get more money you can upgrade the containement on them. wish i would have gone kirkey instead of sparco



IJ did you have a seat back brace. that makes me want to install one on my sparco seat. i just feel bad drilling into the fiber glass

I know what can beat that deal, be safer, and more comfortable..... STOCK SEATS



I can second this motion.... :)


Just get the stockers re-wrapped in leather with a color of your choice. Done and done.

PS. Never listen to anyone who posts pictures of their "harnesses" bolted to the floor behind the seat.


For those who didn't read between the lines here, this means buy the damned harness bar. They do make em for our cars, that means USE THEM!!!
