racing seats opinion
 

im tryin to find racing seats, i want to go with corbeau, but was wondering if the ebay seats are legit? what brands do you guys have and how do you feel about them?
thanks

Seats protect you in a crash and could potentially save your life, don't buy the cheap eBay brands or the knock-offs sold on eBay.

Hope it is for a non-street vehicle as well. I've read some scary threads. You have to go the whole 9-yards or not at all.

I love my Corbeau seats, but make sure you get their sliding brackets as well as their harnesses. Corbeau harnesses are built to bolt into the stock location for the rear seat belts also, so you don't have to worry about those scary spine compression stories. You will pretty much lose your rear seats, but at least you are safe.

If you wanna check some out: http://www.motorsportseats.com/index.html the guy is located in Bloomington. When I was there with a friend he probably had 25 seats in his basement to try out. Nice to see how they feel prior to buying one.

If I had any money I would have gone with some Corbeau seats. My buddy has some and they are mighty comfy on long trips. I however are mighty broke so I went with a Kirkey.

I don't know if I would trust an ebay seat in an accident like stated earlier, accidents are a scary thing with cheap parts.

I LOVE my sparco's. Coupled with the cage, and harnesses, It fits me like a glove.

what about megan racing?

Re: racing seats opinion
 

I like Megan for things like exhaust components, but when it comes to safety go with one of the major name brands.

Re: racing seats opinion
 

Kracka's right. Also, the better quality stuff FEELS better. I really noticed a difference between the corbeau's and the sparco's I have now.

^^ Sayin somethin about Corbeau's!??!?

Re: racing seats opinion
 

Just a thought, but what about some used Evo Recaros?

Re: racing seats opinion
 

I'd get some used Evo9 recaros if I could find some that weren't overly priced. Otherwise, there's some pretty cool newer looking recaros out there. Recaros are way $$$ though along with companies like Bride...

Re: racing seats opinion
 

Can pick up a pair Evo8 seats for as little as $450.. and IX SE seats for $1000 on evom.

Re: racing seats opinion
 

you can go with any evo III+ recaro. evo III-VI are all the same style they are like the honda type r recaros just in better colors. they changed the style in the evo VII. You can pick up older evo seats for dirt cheap.

I picked up my evo III fronts for 350.00 shipped from japan

Re: racing seats opinion
 

link me! I'd rewrap an Evo8 seat.

Re: racing seats opinion
 

i got a great deal on a set of corbeau a4s, i love how they feel!! now gotta get brackets and harnesses!

Re: racing seats opinion
 

Everything I have heard about Corbeau's are nothing short of awesome. If I ever replace my seats down the road, I'll be getting a Forza probably.

Re: racing seats opinion
 

One "off-brand" that I've always heard excellent reviews about are DAD seats. If you're looking to save a couple bucks, I'd say at least research into those.
