Aftermarket Seats

Just curious which aftermarket seats some of you run in your cars.

I'm in the market for a new one on the race car so just curious as to who runs what and how it fits in the small 1st gen cockpit.

Pics a plus!

I've got Sparco Torinos in mine. More than welcome to drop by and sit in them since I see your local. In Alpharetta.

Fred's seats are nice.

Its hard to beat the price and weight of a kirkey.

Fred?

I like the Kirkey, but those models are just not safe enough for me. I have an Economy one I'm getting rid of now.

I have Corbeau forza's in my car. They are fairly comfortable and also perform well during auto-x events.

Do you have enough clearance on the shoulder wings and the door?

Cool, I was wondering how those types of seat fit. I could barely shut the door in my Miata with a Forza but that's quite a but smaller interior.
