i guess it's time to get rid of the oem seats but i'm not sure what to buy

shouldn't be something too expensive

maybe the sparco torino 2 ?

what seats do you have?

Sparco EVO. I say get a fixed back for the driver side.

reclinable seats = pimping seats.

What is the car in question, and why type of restraints will be used? Last but not least, height and weight?

I love my Evo. They suck for long distance driving... but on track they're all business.

I loved my buddy club seat. It was light, looked good, and didnt allow much driver movement... and was only 360 dollars. Given, Im 5'10 140 lbs.... somebody much larger than me would have no luck.

and mine was the large.

i've loved my buddy club as well. super tight (i'm like 6'1" and 150 lbs, and it's still tight on me), but it held me really well.

i sat in david's racetech's a while back though, and i really want those for whatever i have next. they cost a bit though, but insanely comfortable and supportive.

those reclineable sparcos are garbage. you sit ON TOP of the seat, not IN the seat.

I've been looking into new seats myself. I've decided on either a Sparco Sprint or a Corbeau Forza. They seem like a very similar seat, but the Corbeau is about $70 cheaper. Any suggestions?

Good God... I had sparco sprints in my S13... I kept them for around 4 months, until I couldnt take it. The plastic pieces where the harnesses slide into kept popping off, they held me in alright, but were super uncomfortable. They also felt really unstable... just like, an ebay seat... not something Id expect from a reputable company like Sparco. Not to mention, and perhaps its my fault for not having a driveway, but even with tinted windows, they were showing signs of fading when I took them out.

Did it ruin me for Sparcos? Nooope. My next seat is gonna be an Evo... but the Sprints... yeah... junk imo.

My Evos faded a good bit too. Especially my blue one that used to be my driver seat in '05. When I swapped it out to the passenger side I was like whoa.

i don't know why you fuckers can't drift like REAL men with a bench seat and a god damn autozone cupholder console with a secret compartment full of methamphetamine.
