Need some opinions on seats
Need some opinions on seats Would like to ask your opinions on aftermarket seats for my car. I'm just getting started in Open track type events and I looking into getting better/lighter/safer seating. I've been looking at the styles like the Corbue Clubman, Momo Start, Sparco,,, pretty much that syle and price range {200-300$}. I'm sure that most have seen those type seats, pretty much entry level, tube style seats. I have just seen the past weekend, a pair of Kirkey Road Race seats.
I will have a 6 point roll bar soon so there is no need for reclineing seats. The car is driven on the street, although not alot. Maybe 10K miles per year now. I'm a pretty small feller {5'7 @ 165lbs} so vehicle entry/exit should be a huge problem. Also as I have already hinted at,,, I really don't want to go over 300$ for a seat.
I think the Kirky is most likely the safest and lightest seat of the bunch. It, however isn't the best looking of the bunch. I'm usually a form follows function type of person and if this were a race car I would have no problems throwing the Kirkeys in there. BUT, it it a street car that will be driven on the track occasionally. I will {at times} have to drive in these seats for hours at a time when going to events. Maybe 4-6 hour trips,,, don't really forsee anything taking longer than that.
Here is the question I was wanting your opinions on- would you install a set of these in your street car?
Asking here because,,, as I said, I tend to be a form follows function feller. Hell, I'd drive around in a Aztec {and be proud} if it had enough power!!! Just want some opinions from regular folk.

It actually felt comfortable just sitting in them beleive it or not. Better than alot of the other non-reclining tube frame seats I've tried out. Yep, there are several differnt colors and fabric types.
Any other opinions????
