I agree with the Kirkeys.. Just make sure you get whats going to work for you, the Kirkeys are nice and light but if you drive your car at all away from the track they are not confortable..

Honestly what i did was head to the local track and was also lucky enough to go to SEMA a week later, i sat in all kinds of seats race and aftermarket before deciding, i am a bigger guy and needed wider shoulder room etc.. I decided on the Corbeau A4's.. for street/strip reasons

I love my Kirkey, it's plenty comfortable for me, even as a daily driver seat. I also have some Sparcos that I really like in another car.

The Cobeau A4s are cheap, not extremely light, but decent for the money. You pay for what you get.

I love my Sparco Fighters.

The only downfall is that Sparco doesn't offer a lightweight, functional mounting bracket for the F Bodies so I engineered a set and had them made out of 3/16" aluminum.

The summit/RCI seats are probably the lightest and cheapest. 12.5lbs for $70. But for comfort they are dead last. I have them but I don't care about comfort or looks.

The Corbeaus are a good mix of light weight and comfort. I use the A4's. Fairly priced too.
