Default Aftermarket seats.

I am looking at replacing my seats and want an adjustable seat. The car is a street/strip car and would probaly go with a black seat. Are my only options pretty much Corbeau and Recaro? I would like for the seats to be lighter than the stock manual cloth ones as well.

i dont know if they are still like this but a buddy of mine bought the seats from summit 2 years ago they said fully adjustalbe, well they were but u had to turn a dam **** to get tin the back and it was a realy pain...besides that they were sweet....the summit seats are made by scat...the same people who make engine parts so you know they are good quality. they may not be like this now but they were, the jegs seats however have the lever to access the rear and they are really the same look. i know i will be going with the jegs seat unless summit ones are diff now..jegs seats are about 20 bucks more but jegs and summit someitmes match each others prices on competing products at least they did for me on some stuff and i know they have done it alot. when jegs has a sael and somethings are on back order summit will match the price and beat it most of the time...just some things to think about b/c i know i have spend well over 15k with summit on my 69 camaro with all the motor and susp and trans parts and they are easeirt o deal with in my mind...sorry for the long post

Yeah the Summit seats are "Procar" by Scat....and they seem to have fixed the tilt problem
Other features include increased side bolstering for improved lateral support, an all-steel TIG-welded frame, one-touch recliner/backrest releases with Safe-Lock headrest adjusters for precise driver fitment, and 5-point harness openings.
