suck fumes1548534743 Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 Kirkey road race seat. Aluminum seats are a lot easier to install and take up less space. The fancier street tuner seats....sparco, momo etc are more comfortable and expensive but they are a lot bigger and harder to install and usually require purchasing special brackets specific to that seat.

t500hps Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 Kirkey road race seat. Aluminum seats are a lot easier to install and take up less space.

My car came with these seats when I bought the car but I really like them. (this weekend I sat in the car for the first time in awhile and simply sat there reminiscing how comfortable the seat was and "jonesing" to get back out racing. I even wonder if the limited padding of these seats helps your rear end "feel" the car a bit better??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spencer Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 I have a racetech, bought it used and installed a backbrace kit as the date was expired Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BADVENM Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 Racetech with seat back brace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cozog1548534733 Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 Kirkey with bolt on halo. No right side net needed with halo installed. Sparco, Mono, etc are super comfy though. Like 2" of padding vs. 1/2". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glenn Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 I have had the same UltraShield in my car for over 10 years. It was used in my street/track car for a few before that. Very comfortable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suck fumes1548534743 Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 Just don't get one that has a huge halo on it cause you'll never be able to escape easily with your helmet on in an emergency. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D Algozine Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 Kirkey seat has two different sizes for the halo. I got the long one for the right side and short one for the left side to help with exit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
