what does everyone recommend? i would really not like to spend more than 500 on two seats- but that's more of a guideline and less of a rule set in stone- just want to hear some opinions

Look for some cheap Recaros or Corbeu. You could try finding some Sandtlers also.

best bang for the buck IMO = Corbeau

or if you are looking for a full out no bullshit RACE SEAT look into Kirkey

seat prices are pretty much the same everywhere... google up corbeau and look for the cheapest shipping.

werd- i was looking at the corbeau forza's though, and they are about 220 a piece- They are fixed but they look like a real nice set for the price, i might go with those considering i really don't wanna spend 700 bills plus shipping on seats

I almost bought some fixed Recaros, then my friend talked some sense into me. Sure track only who cares, but in a daily driver? Come on, if you like to sit higher or lower than they do, you're fucked. I like adjusting especially on a long trip, I have to lean it forward, can't have your lean on at 120.

Yeah you're right john- the lower price tag appealed to me, but this car will be a daily driver first and a track car recond- I guess i'll have to shell out the money for the reclineables then- it's gonna have to wait a couple weeks- It's just that the fixed buckets look a ton safer and more supportive-

Not making any accusations about any of the inexpensive seats mind you, but I could take cardboard, foam, and some cloth and make a great "looking" seat. Anyway, when it comes to safety quality is job one, and you get what you pay for.

like a motherfucker

seats are VERY a important part of your safety
i would NEVER skimp out on safety equipment
most of those "budget seats" are not tested to the same safety standards as the OEM seats
most would not come close to passing if they were tested

when you buy cheap seats, that is exactly what you get.... CHEAP seats

and this is why sparco can continue to charge $1000 and up for a pair of seats...


to each their own i guess...
i prefer oem honda prelude seats to just about any aftermarket seat out there...

yeah i agree- but it's hard to try a lot of these seats out- the only ones i've gotten to sit in were the 150 dollar piece of garbage pep boys seats x 5000

what do you guys think of tenzo reclinables? I got offered a pair for 400, but wasn't sure. It seemed nice, but don't know how they are. Any words of advice?

Go sit in one first. The fixed angle on the Forza is actually pretty nice- it's actually pretty upright. I had one in my CRX, and now it's in my truck. It's pretty comfortable, even on cross-state drives. I just have a small pad for lumbar support. If you like a little more recline, the Clubman might be better. It's 65 degrees instead of the 72 of the Forza.

werd- good idea Calesta- i'm more of an upright driver, so i'm not sure i would mind the 72 degrees, i feel very uncomfortable if my seat is down ghetto JdM style- i wonder where the hell i can plant my ass in one of those.......anyone in the Milford, PA area want to let me settle my cheeks in their corbeau forza's?
