FD Seats

Anyone know what seats fit perfectly without the shoulder hitting the door when closing? Looking for something pretty cheap.
Thanks

Racing shell, or reclineable?

For seats that can recline, check the Corbeau A4's or CR1's:

The A4 will be more snug than the CR1.

Their was a thread about three weeks ago with seats that fit, their were over 40 posts. My favorite is the bride brix but they are a really tight squeeze, sure are sweeeeet though.

Tight squeeze as in the seats touch the door or tight squeeze as in you have to be a small person to fit?

If you are looking for something "pretty cheap", Bride seats are not going to be them (unless you consider about $1000 per seat, cheap).

Nah you can buy a pair for 800 on ebaymotors (Okay not that cheap but not 1000 a seat). Depends where you get them, and what model, I believe the brix are the cheapest series? I have sat in them before and im 6'2 175lb well i guess I am kind of skinny but they are great. Most comfortable seat you can buy plus when you autox you would be sliding around. Depends what your goals are but bride seats are a good choice.

Ebay will be the ONLY place to get a pair for that price. And you'll have to make sure they are real Bride seats and not "Bride Style" seats.

Basically, here are your choices:

1. Pick up some used seats here on the forum
2. Get a good deal on Ebay
3. Corbeau seats

BTW, are you just wanting different seats or are you current ones just worn? If they are just worn, you can probably recover them cheaper than new seats.

Do you know where I can check out Recaro seats or who deals them? I went to their web site and they only have like 4 seats on it, but I know they have more.
Thanks,

Craig

Not a bad deal at all!!! I'm in the market for some Bride seats myself. I asked the seller if he deals any other Bride seats. I'm looking for the ZETA III's myself though.

let us know how these turn out. those seats are as fake as they come. there are tons of these seats on ebay for sale, notice how most of them never sell. the brix 2 was never released by bride in alcantara.
