Shopping around for some race seats and I was wondering what you guys would recommend as far as brand and comfort.
Part of me wants to go with sparco just for the name, but then again other than Corbeau and Vulture I'm not too familiar with any other brands. Recommendations? -------------------- HONDA

Recaro Speed or SRD are great options. They will run about $500 a seat in good used condition or about $800-$900 new. The good thing about them is they were used in jdm integras so they are available at most importers. You can buy corbeau's seat mounts and rails for $100 ea and it makes for a simple install. If you want a more relaxed fitting seat (daily driver) the Recaro Sportline is my recommendation. They will run a little more than the Speed but you can find a set out of an evo 9 for about $1000. The evo 8 seats are also sportlines but they used a very cheap blue textured cloth insert that ruins the style of the seat. The evo 9 seats were available in leather or black suede, both look amazing. When it comes to a seat you want quality because in case of an accident it is your only spinal support.
