Default Which Seats Should I Get?

Deciding on seats...

Bride Ergo II (Gradation)





Recaro Speed S (Black Cloth)

[

Price is around the same ballpark figure, so that's not important. I was going to get Corbeau CR1s, but after sitting in recaros and brides you just can't go back. Also, the CR1s are flat bottoms and don't hold you in the seat as well. Sparcos are ...eh...nothing to brag about. The Milanos are nice but too expensive for what you get. I know these Brides are not the nicest, especially being compared to the Stadias (which are $1600/ ea)..but they are still nice and comfortable...hence their name Ergos....which stands for Ergonomics. The Recaro Speed Ss are very popular and they're also known for their comfort and grip factors.

+1 pictures and price.

i'de probly say nether tho. unless you are gonna be auto-xing regularly you don't really need racing buckets. thats a lot of money that could be spent on other more practical things IMO.

Re-wrap your current seats! Or I'd say Recaro, the Bride's look tacky with the logo all over them like that.

my seats are in great condition, but the reason why I want to change them is because I'm tired of having leather seats. I don't like worrying about extended use which causes leather cracks and splits in the seams. Also they really don't hold me in when I take hard turns. Plus when I get more into autox and road racing i'm sure they'll seem to be a problem.

Just an update...I ended up purchasing the Recaro Speeds. I will post up some pics in a new thread for those who are interested tomorrow after I adjust the seats a little more.
