Where to get cheap Momo seats?

I've searched and searched and I could not find the link! I remember someone posting a link (to a shop) that sells MOMO reclinable seats for around 400! Anyone know what I am talking about?

Not Momo, but check these out:

I've heard great things about these seats and have been personally eyeing the 'touring' line. Go to Ebay and you'll see pairs of these being sold for $379 new.

Too bad those DAD seats are not FIA approved... Overpriced for ricer knock-offs...

**** NO!!! Corbeau forza seats suck my ***. I had one in my 86 and i hated it from day one, it dont recline, it has some wierd wires that jam you in the back when your seated in it, it just SUCKED. I now have "DYNAMIC AUTO DESIGN" FULLY RECLINABLE RACING SEATS. And let me tell you i love them! they are the most comfortable seats i have ever sat in, AND VERY BEAUTIFULL TO LOOK AT. every one who sits int the seats or rides with me says they are GREAT. And WHO GIVES A **** if they are "FIA approved", ARE STOCK SEATS "FIA" APPROVED? I just cant see spending $1000 on some seats with a brand name when you can get the same seats at a lower price that look and feel the same. AND THEY ARE NOT OVER PRICED RICER KNOCK OFFS. THEY LOOK AND FEEL ALOT BETTER THAN WHAT YOU GOT IN YOUR CAR I CAN GUARENTEE THAT !!!!!.

well when you purchase a bucket seat you either choose reclinable or not, i would go the non-reclinable bucket seat. also, if it isn't fia approved then there is no garauntee of safety and it didn't pass any inspection or did any research on the seat. it's your life, it may look and feel the same but the materials, safety, and research/time don't match up.

It really depends on what kind of driving you'll be doing. If you plan on doing some competitive driving (or just "spirited driving"), you might be better off with a bucket and not a reclinable, and vice versa.

Nobody is saying that these DAD seats are not safe, but a FIA approved logo on a seat gives me peace of mind (which is quite invaluable when you think about it...you rely so much on your equipment when you're driving).

You should really sit in a seat before buying it. It's very important to get the right fit or you could end up with a seat that is eather very uncomfortable or a seat that doe's not hold you the way it should.

My buddy bought a set of corbeu's for his miata. I helped him install them with their custom brackets for his car. Not only didwe have to heavily modify the brackets to work the seats did not have full range of motion in his car.
They where also so narrow that they where very uncomfortable for me to sit in. He was ok with them because he is scrawny. But my big *** (5'8" 165lbs) was cramed between the bolsters. Because the seat didn't fit in the car properly, it would not recline very much and you could not slide it back far enough to get any leg room without having to sit straight up. In my opinion the stock seats where way better in every way then the corbeu's.
