Anyone who has replaced their factory seats with a high-performance model, let me know what brand, style etc., and how you like them.

Thanks!!

 

Well...there are a number of people here that have brands like Momo and Sparco. A fewer number of people have Recaro and Bride.

 

I've gotten a chance to try out a couple of seats since my friend works at a performance shop and here's my findings:

Sparco: Man this is quality here. However it's pretty expensive.

Momo: About the most expensive seats I've ever seen *upwards of 800USD for a seat* It feels comfortable but a bit tight for me personally. *6foot 240lbs*

Recaro: Simliliar to Sparco in terms of the feel of the seat although the look is a little bit different. Personally I like sparcos more.

OBX: About the best bang for the buck seats you can find. 700USD for a PAIR of LEATHER seats. The style and colors are limited but regardless they look and feel pretty good.

Carbeau: What I have in my car. It's very very comfortable and the price is not TOO hefty. 800USD for a pair. Installation was easy and the fit was surprisingly good.

Well those are the 5 brands that I'd recommend to people most of the time. Hopefully you'll find what your'e loking for!

Peace,
AJ ^_^

 

Ok...price wise. Bride is probably the most expensive. Recaro is next. Sparco and Momo are then next.

Personally, I would not even consider any others unless the products are race proven.

Momo seats are not nearly as expensive as Bride and Recaro.

OBX does not come nearly as close to the quality of the name brands I mentioned above. Not only that, but if I want a racing seat, why would I want to get it in leather??? Your *** will slide right off the seat! Not only that, but odds are...the OBX seats are not made from carbon fiber or kevlar. If they are, then it is a carbon fiber sheet that they are placing on it. The seat itself is probably made from either metal or a plastic (not carbon fiber/kevlar).

Corbeau...well...those seats are made from metal.

I've stated my views regarding seats, however, I do respect everyone elses' right to choose. You may have a budget that you're sticking with. Also, you may want the leather OBX seat. Either way, it is your car and the choices are yours.

 

Either the RE Amemiya or oem recaros for the Jappanese rx7 are damn sexy!

 

Anyone try Mazdaspeed seats? I'm thinking about getting a set Sport Seats in white for my white FC..

 

I've got a pair of Corbeau Sport Seats in my '88 SE, and while I like the seats for comfort, the fitment sucked. I had to cut their "custom fit" brackets and weld in spacers to lower the seats. I'm 5'5" and I was hitting my head on the headliner. Also, after only 4 years of use, the cloth seatcovers have worn out and started to tear.

 

I have Sparco Supersports in Alcatera (suede)...I believe they are called Milano's,,but it's MHO that Supersports are better.. They dont fit great..the just touch the door slightly..but they feel great..me 5'8" 185.lbs

 

Recaro all the way. the best seats in the world.

 

the OEM Recaros in a JDM RX-7 Type RZ...
