Those look amazingly simple in construction.. which usually means lightweight... but also $$ for exclusivity (eventhough they arent much $$ to manufacture)

I run Sparco Fighters, even though theyre solid seats (non reclineable) they have lumbar support cushions, so theyre decently comfortable. And they look hot =D

Damn 1300 bucks is a lot. But they are pretty cool because they recline. MIne don't recline but i've been on a couple long trips and they aren't that bad. Mine also come with a thigh support and a back support. You got a PM.

I'm interested in some badass seats, but they gotta be comfy and adjustable, I have back problems. My factory seats are great for road trips though. Any brands come to mind guys?

My driver's-side seat has developed some "flex". Seriously, it flexes. I think someday its going to break. So I'm interested in new seats too, but I dont want to pay a ton either.

Ive been looking at Sparco's and Cobra....there was a guy who made a post about mounting some JEGS seats..they looked pretty nice..I actually had a chance to sit in an APC seat...it was pretty damm comfortable..they get a bad rap for being cheap..but if you reallly look at all teh seats out there..you start seing the same seat all the time..Im starting to believe that ther are a few Mfgs and every one "Brands" the seat theirs..kinda like flat scren TV's and CD players....only a few Mfgs but lots of diffrent brands..

Ive got the Sparco fighters, while theyre not adjustable, I consider it comfortable. Since Sparco wanted to charge almost 200 bucks for mounting brackets for a camaro, I made my own and made the seat lean slightly backwards, made it more comfortable. They are rather costly though, around 600 each.
