Racing Seats

[2002EclipseRS]

Guys, I am thinking about getting a pair of seats. I know our cars arent too fast, but I just love the feel of sitting in racing seats. They fit you very well. What are some good seats and how do you install them? Is it a hard job or not? Plus, racing harnesses, would i bolt them to the back seat or what?

sparcos but they are expensive

i rode in an srt4 last week and they come stock with racing seats. man those things were comfortable. i dont know what kind they were

do NOT get harnesses unless you get a roll cage too. The reason is that the harness prevents you from bending down in the case of a rollover causing you to get paralyzed or a closed head injury from the roof hitting your head.

The leather Recaro's that come stock in the Evo are nice. Bride also make's a nice seat. Just be sure whatever you get, you get adjustable seats since this wont be a full race car. Otherwise you will never be able to lean back, or fowards to let people in the back or your car. The seats are easy to install. They come with their own mounting bracket, You just bolt it right in.
