Aftermarket seats? So I need new seats... mine are broke as **** from people pulling on them from the back seat or lean back on them too hard. Should I bother with stock replacements or spend some money on recaro or cipher aftermarket seats? I have a wolfe 6 point so I have no qualms about harnesses
I don't wanna spend $1000 or more either.

Depends on what you're looking for. My honest opinion, I'd invest into racing seats. The previous owner of my camaro had installed sparco seats. They are very comfortable. Yes, some are expensive, but there are good seats for a reasonable price if you don't care for brand name. I'd obviously take a look at reviews and ask others about whatever brand you are looking at. Some companies you want to stay away from. These are things that you will get what you paid for. There are different classes when it comes to racing seats. Got your low, medium, then high end stuff ($1000 seat stuff). Sparco/Recaro/MOMO and so on are your high end stuff. Just depends on how much you want to spend on per seat.
As for recommendations, can't really give you one since I only have first hand experience with Sparco. Which is a good experience, but I understand you don't want to pay that much for seats, neither would I. Lol
But considering racing seats are also lighter. It'll be easier to remove them from your car, let alone decrease weight. You can get either adjustable or non-adjustable. Since we have back seats in our cars, I'd get adjustables.
Here is a link for seats. Be sure to look at reviews first!

Or you could just got stock replacement and put a cover on them. But even then you could've got a pair of OK racing seats. Hopefully someone chimes in about their experiences.
Best of luck,
Blake

Don't see how. They sell from low end to high end. I can think of better sites, but I'm sure he doesn't want to pay $1500 per seat. Besides, it's to show what's out there. Should always look at every site that sells a seat you're interested in to get the best deal.

Just something to hold my *** in place when I canyon carve or feel like driving aggressively. I'm a bigger guy and the stock seats just don't cut it. I also hate my tan interior so stock replacements would be another color... I'll take a look at that link and see what I like and what I feel like spending.

Either way, I would browse some well known name brand companies OP. Sparco does sell some "cheaper" seats. Idk about MOMO and such, I'm sure they do too. Off brand seats aren't too bad, depending on who. But I personally avoid them. But, if you're on a budget then there is some good for the money ones from what I heard.
