Bucket seats or keep standard cup seats?

[Clgale88]

Im thinking about putting some sparco or corbeau forza bucket seats in my car but im not sure if i should just keep the standard seast any suggestions wb.

 

[Fred@BTM]

standard seats are s**t

i'd ONLY fit cobra suzukas, i find everything else below par

 

[Clgale88]

I cant afford the cobra suzukas. I was thinking about a pair of corbeau forza sport seats in black/blue or a pair of sparco speed seats in black but aint sure what to get i do think the standard seats are s**t.

 

[Fred@BTM]

save up for them, otherwise you'll regret it

 

[Clgale88]

why would i regret it fred need to know before i do make a mistake like i always do.

 

[Clgale88]

i dont really like the look of the suzuka seat i like the look of the sparcos/corbeau seats but aint sure which 1 to go 4

 

[Ad]

suzukas are not the only decent seat out there...that said they are a quality seat.

tbh depends what you needs are etc...

Ive always been put off corbeau as they look good in pics, but poor in the flesh.

 

[Fred@BTM]

link?

i hate corbeau seats

suzukas are the coolest seats on the market IMO

 

[Clgale88]

Thats why i want to get views on what seat to get i understand that the suzuka seat is a good seat but i want a seat that i can drive my car alot and be comfy and that the missus aint goin moan about it my mates got some sparco speed seats i his corsa gsi and they look ok and are pretty comfy i sat in some corbeau forza seats in my local shop and they are really comfy but still dont know what seat to get i want a road/track seat.

 

[Clgale88]

is that a pic of the seats in your car fred.

 

[Fred@BTM]

yup

head down to demon tweeks and go and try them all out

 

[Clgale88]

how much did the seats subframes and harnesses cost all together have they got a good range of seats on show up there.

 

[Clgale88]

have u got a pic of the front view of the seats fred.

 

[Fred@BTM]

they're the carbon + alcantara ones, so all in it was over £2K lol

the non carbon with normal fabric are about £350 a pop IIRC

tweeks have every seat on the market on display i think

[Clgale88]

2k is alot of money ummm i only want to spend bout 300-400 on the seats for a pair.

 

[Clgale88]

i like the look of the cobra imola s seat.

 

[Henry]

just echoing Fred - try before you buy

Forzas are horrible

 

[Riddick]

Do not do not do not do not get cheap seats, unless its for a trackday car.

Not being able to feel your bum/ legs after 100miles isnt fun. This will happen every long journey in cheap seats.

 

[Fred@BTM]

i like the look of the cobra imola s seat.

that and the monaco both make your arse go numb

 

[Peperami]

Which depending on which social circles you hang around in, could be a good thing

 

[Fred@BTM]

i was going to say something similar, but as sm_wrc has them i didn't want to upset him, i mean he already drinks shandy!

 

[philthy]

try the sparco sprint 5, but remeber you will need subframes and or sidemounts which can be from 60-120 smackers on top

ive got a set coming monday (taken a f**king month already)

you get what you pay for with buckets,... with these steel framed cheaper buckets you can feel the steel frame through the padding and they are uncomfortable for a long drive

search ebay, i got this corbeau sprint seat with side mounts very cheaply

[Clgale88]

Iv got a missus so i dont hang round with any gay social people if thats what ur tryin to say so the suzuka seat is a very comfy seat then what over seats are comfy.

 

[Tom]

Sparco evo2's are decent too.

But the imolas are the best.

Sparco sprint 5 are they comfy or can u feel the metal frames through them i think my local shop at castle combe stocks them seats.

I do like the sparco evo seats some peole have said the imolas are crap seats and not very comfy.

 

[Peperami]

Ive found imola's quite comfy, if you're bigger tha a racing driver go for the imola gt's, loads of room.

Just dont get monacos, lol.

 

[Clgale88]

i wasnt planning on get monacos they are very uncomfy my mate had them fuk that back ache i think im either goin to choose the sparco evo or rev seats sparco sprint 5 seast or cobra imolas ummm.
