WTB: racing seats
#1
I know DJ had some racing seats for sale a while ago, but I just wanted to see if anyone had any racing seats, prefereably on the cheaper side, unless you've got a great deal on some bride's Big Grin But I'm looking for a fixed back, black or gray in color. I had been looking at corbeaus, momos, and some sparcos, but i'll consider anything.

lol gotta pay to play. Or get some aluminum kirkeys. Why do you need "race" seats. They suck unless your actually needing them.

sparcos and any FIA seat's value goes way down after they are 5 years old and the cert is expired.

Don't get brides, too much money. Look at any racer, any real racer.....they don't rock Brides. Corbeaus from what ive heard, don't know personally, but the quality and comfort aren't there. Id stick with Sparco or Recaros, I have yet to sit in one of those that was uncomfortable. You can get the entry level sparco fixed backs for $300 per seat, new, but I don't think they are FIA.

I have a spare Kirkey in my garage at the track if you are interested. It came out of a recently purchased /sold car.

I want racing seats because they're cheaper than trying to find a nice set of stock si's. My driver seat in particular is terrible, giant rip in the bolster. and so i figured if i was going to get a seat i'd like to feel like i'm in a race car when i drive the car because it's not my daily and i don't drive it as often as my truck. I've sat in some corbeaus and they're pretty nice, and i've also sat in sparcos and they're nice. I don't know what i'm going to do.

Get expired Sparco Evos, or some cheap ass corbeaus, you cna probably find out of date seats for anywhere from 2-400 each.

They won't - buy the seat itself, I can re-use the rails anyway.
#19
