Okay, looking for nice Sparco, Momo, Recaro, etc seats, I find this problem:

It seems that the ones designed for racing really aren't that comfortable for a long drive. You can buy lumbar accessories, but ultimately, you're not going to have the best comfort that you would find in a seat with support built in.

But then again, some of the street/sport seats look VERY comfortable.

Mine being a street car, and a highway car, I need the best comfort. However, my subs and sound system are based where my back seat used to be, so I can't recline very far, and therefore, reclining or nonreclining doesn't really matter to me.

So what models do you suggest? Please post some pics if you got them, or links.

I would suggest to test sit some seats before you buy. What is comfortable to one person maynot be comfortable to you. I've sit in some $600 seats that were uncomfortable but supported you well then again there was that $300 seat that was comfortable and supported me enough to make my factory TII seats seem like bench seat out of a 55 Chevy.

But what about people who own them? Who owns a comfortable aftermarket seat?

Yeah, it is hard to find a place that sells them around here, though.

GXL 8x adjustable all the way

lumbar, front lean, rear lean, headrest, wide seats - oh yeah

JumpyRoo

Where do we find that.... wait, that's not a stock seat, is it? :P

vaughnc

Yep. Stock seat and it's comfy for wide or skinny bottoms, your back, calfs, etc..

Okay, but what about aftermarket?

I had the Sparco Monte Carlos....couldn't do the everyday thing on'em. Get sport seats that recline.......you and your passenger will apperciate it.

JumpyRoo

Any particular models that anyone would reccomend?

I sat in some Rocaro seats while in Korea...mmmmm Rocaro...talk about comfort.

JumpyRoo

Er, I don't suppose any of you would know if the Momo T Frame is a comfortable seat, would you?

You sit in that Sparco for me yet??????

i have sparco torinos in my 88 vert and wouldnt trade them for nothing the stock seats were very uncomfortable on long trips and didnt recline as far back i am 160lbs. 5'11 and i love them i muted them with a slight slope down towards the rear of the car.they are very comfortable and they feel a lot safer than the stock seats.

JumpyRoo

I haven't done much sitting yet. Or any. That place is out of the way. I did get the pitcat Sparco shoes, though!

Now I have found a source for seats that I have to decide on by tonight... oh, what the hell. *bids on this eBay item and ends the auction* I'll just sell it if I don't like it. "Sat in once. Just once! Like new!" Yeah, we'll see.

I am 6'4" I don't fit in my car....racing seats arent an option for me at this time...YARG

I love my car though...I dont care if it wears out a bald spot on the top of my head...I will still drive it.

Very cool. I still want the blue driving Sparco Puma's.
