Upgrading seats. Questions / suggestions

[vanilla gorilla]

Hey. I really like the seats in my car, I think they look great and go with the car good. But I have back trouble and it only gets worse when I'm drving. The factory seats aren't very comfortable. So I want to upgrade to a comfortable, supportive, race oriented seat. I'm leaning towards the Sparco and Momo brands. I want something predominatly black / grey. But I also don't want to spend $600+ per seat. $300 per seat is more like it. I have never really sat in any aftermarket seats so I need some help deciding what will go good with my car and what is comfortable. I'm also not sure whether to go with an adjustable back or not. I've never changed seats in a car before. I know Sparco sells seat brackets and sliding rails and all that but it would be like $200 extra dollars for each seat. Could I adapt the seats to my factory mounts?


Heres what my interior looks like now (not a good pic but the only one I got):



Heres just a few seats I was looking at. If you know of any others that would fit my needs please show me!

Sparco Speed 00915NR


MOMO RS GT BLK


The Black one.


Thanks,

The pic of the inside of your car was totally unnecessary, as we all know what the insides look like ;-) Just playing with ya.

You have to check with each one. Some of them come with straight mounting brackets, others you have to buy seperatly. I personally never liked the racing seats; seems like they'd be even more uncomfortable then stock. Make sure you goto like a shop or something that has them so you can sit in them before you make a decision.

Well I figured some people don't know what it looks like, lol.

I've heard on forums and things that some race seats are suprisingly comfortable. But theres really no shop around here that sells seats, so I can't really try any out.

[david-b]

Ah ok. Well try searching all over, like on Tuners and all and see what people say about them. But if you can't actually try them out, make sure you do a lot of research then.

Go find a wrecked srt-4 with the viper seats. Best seats out there. They are just as supportive as momo or recaro or what have you but are extremely comfortable

I love my leather seats, so pimpin! But I'm going to keep them even if I change them, I can't get rid of them.

^show off...

lol, I've never rode in racing seats, couldn't tell ya... I do know that when you're hugging curves the stockers lack the restraint to hold you in place...

3/5-point harness FTW...

i know that this thread is kinda old but , just wanted to say if you have back problems a racing seat with recline is best. i had a non reclinable kirky seat in my eclipse before i bought a set of real racing seats and they made a huge comfort difference in driving. it dont take long to get a stiff back in the non reclinable seat.
