The most popular seem to be the Pro street seat (I actually just ordered some myself). In all reality though, the Economy Drag seat would probrably fit better in these cars since they are only 34" tall, the Pro street seats are 35.5" tall. The only reason I didn't get the Economy was because they look alittle tougher to get out of.

I have a JAZ seat, and love it. It is lighter than Kirkey as well.

I feel the same way about Kirkeys. They look cheap to me, and are heavier than the JAZs. I like the lower profile of the JAZ. The kirkeys are too tall.

i'm going to weld my brackets to the seat to get rid of all the bolts holding them together and swiss cheese them. should be good for about 15 lbs of weight savings between the two seats.
