Opinions on racing seats?

[olympic]

Whaddaya think?

This is the least "ricey" racing seats I could find outside of actual Recaro's or or other name brand seats. My car is blue inside and black/gray ouside so I think they would look good. Price is $320+shipping for the pair. Has anyone ever ridden in a car with no-name racing seats in it? Are they comfortable and supportive?

I persoally love them to dealth.... My inside of my sho is also blue. So they would look just awesome... go for them man....

Very Very nice, where did you find them? i have been looking for a pair to replace my crappy leather.

I paid $350 for mine after shipping. I got them off Ebay. I drive my car everyday, and I love how comfortable they are. They only weigh 18lbs. each. And the build quality is quite nice.

Anyone know a some grey/black like those. Love the new Sparco with memory foam but a grand for 2 is abit much for right now. Can nearly buy SHOshop heads for that wink

Here's the auction for the seats I'm looking at http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2401143700&category=33701

I think I'm going to go for it. The color scheme will match my car perfectly! There's 6 pairs available so bid if you like.

If your looking for seats, try this search on ebay ("racing seats",sparco,recaro,corbeau) -cell -phone -phoneholder

Just copy and paste into the search bar.

hey crazySHO88, how did those mount in your car?i have been looking at the same exact ones, i think the black may match my black interior very nicely

I bought a set. I'll post pics once they're in. thumbs_u

Those look great.

Two tone seats make the sho look great .

PS.it would also be easy enough to find matching rear seat covers to finish the look.

I made my own brackets from some aluminum angle iron. It took me roughly 15-20 hours total time. That includes- cutting of the metal, drilling holes, bringing to my welder for the finishing product, and painting. I feel it was well worth my time, I love the way these seats feel. Absolutely priceless matched with a tight suspension.

I like 'em. I think that they would look good in my blue sho too. Good price too.

How much did they end up costing you, in canadian funds, if I may ask?
I need a set and the red and blacks would look good in my beast.

I havn't seen my credit card statement yet but here's what I expect them to cost:

$319+115(shipping)=$434US

$434US x 1.6(exchange rate)=$695CDN

$695 + 7%GST + $45(brokerage)=$789CDN

The GST and brokerage fees are collected by FedEX/UPS when the item is delivered.

They look okay, are they comfortable? I'm happy with my Recaro's.

I havn't got them yet but I hope they are. A wooden crate is probably more comfortable and supportive than the stock Topaz seats though...lol! I would have loved some Recaros or Sparcos but they are just too much $$$.
