Racing seats questions...

[CFCobalt]

i plan on putting racing seats in my slobalt and all i ever hear anyone talking about are recaros...is that because they come with the right rails for our cars or is it because most people like them etc etc etc....

and if the seat i want doesnt come with the right slide what kind of company would i need to contact to get the right ones made...



and i think those are the only questions for now...

Everyone talks about recaro's because they are some of the best seats in existence. Rails depend completely on the car. Most places you buy the seats from will help you choose seat rails.

spaco R 100.. cheap well made.. racing seat.. however if you want OEM go with the ss/tc seats or the stock recaros from the redline or ss/sc

For me, my fat ass fits better into the ss/tc seats and they hold me VERY WELL, the ss/sc(ion redline) seats are a little tighter and not as comfortable. If your 200lbs or more get ss/tc seats, if under 200lbs get ss/sc(ion redline) seats, no need to blow money on aftermarket seats when stock ones can be used and be just as effective and EASIER to install.

ah!

they're like 280 a seat.. so basically close to the same price as getting a set of recaros

i dunno i'd bet a set from an Ion Redline wouldn't be more than $200 each

it depends on who you get it from.. i've seen them go for 400 + shipping for front and back.. but then i've seen them go for 500 + shipping for just the fronts ( for the ss/sc ones ... same damn seats though)

about the rail question...i see alot of people on the other forum drill their holes to fit....but idk if you want to do that haha

 

[ff_drift_lol]

don't be a wimp.

 

[They call me godly]

Just swap to SS/TC seats (Y) you'll be happy, you just gotta find somebody willing to trade (Y) haha, the only thing I don't like about mine are that I want white inserts instead of the all black seats.

 

[CFCobalt]

thanks for the info guys....but i really really REALLY dont want the SS seats....i'll keep searching although the recaro's are looking like a good prospect...

 

[ilovecars]

any one know the weight of the stock front drivers seat?

 

[ff_drift_lol]

i have taken them out. id say the recaros are about 35 lbs with rails
