Need race seat info I'm in the market for race seats, but I need some info. I've never had one of the cheaper seats that have came out on the market in the last year or two, but my question is about where the quality is lacking on the cheap seats. If it is a generic covering, that isn't a big deal, I'll probably recover them anyway. If the frame and/or padding of the seat is crap though, I have a problem with that. I'm looking for seats for a mostly street car, occassional drag car, so comfort is important.
I believe that konig makes "cheap seats" but where there quality lacks is in the seat foam. A friend of mine had them said they were sooo comfortable but after a few months the foam was useless. as for other brands APC Summit etc... no clue. I have Corbeau A4's and they have been fine for well over a year. there is a guy on this site that has APC's maybe he'll put in a word about the seats

Forgottenpassword- What happened when somebody leaned back to adjust the seat? It's the structural integrity I'm wanting to know about.

My friend weighs about 160-170 and is about 5'10". He only put about 5000 miles on the car mostly for commute and once a month for SCCA autox. Just poor foam that was used in the begining I guess.. lowered the price of the seat but killed its function way too quick. He is back with stock seats and going to be buying A4's or TRS's. Oh I don't mind you asking...I weigh about 150lbs & 5'11"
