All of a sudden I see loads of racing style seats on ebay real cheap. Like in the $100 range. Of course they jack you on shipping (100-160) but in total its still not that bad. approx $250 for a pair of nice looking seats. Do a search for "racing seats" and take a look at what people are selling. Any opinions on these? I notice most dont say the weight, and the ask a seller thingie is down.

 

IMO, some of the seats look ok, some look like ****, but they are cheap. I'd rather save a little more money and buy a bride or sparco, or better yet, save even more money, and buy a recaro. Of course, its all up to the buyer, his tastes, and how much money he wants to spend. To each his own, right.

 

are bride pretty decent? i've been looking over some on ebay..they had some on there for 160 i think, bride, in like 6 different colors... i thought they were a cheapy brand, so passed over em... but they aren't?

 

Bride is far from a 'cheap' brand. But at $160, it sounds like a knock-off.

 

What about comfort though, i think that the main difference...where sparco and ricaro probaly hire an ergonomicist to make their seats as user friendly as possible i doubt a company selling them for $80 a pop would give the same consideration, I wouldnt buy a seat with out sitting in it first

 

Yeah, for 160 those have to be knock off's. Well, maybe you found a great deal, could you post the link so we could take a look?

 

i bought the ebay seats (sparco knockoffs from auto-unix) for my FC because my drivers side was toast. i like the way they feel but for most people they are too thin (im 5'6" 108lbs). they are a little bit higher that stock which is perfect for me. for mounting i just had to redrill the stock seat rails.
