Default racing seats, brands and ???

I'm thinking about buy a set of racing seat that recline for my z28.

I want to do this because I know I will be switching to a harness when the car is complete, and also because I am tall and the back of the factory seat does NOT go up high enough to protect my head or neck from whiplash.


So what seats should I get. I dont want to spend $400+ on a pair on momo, corbeau or sparco, but I do want the seats or be strong, comfortable and beable to pass tack specs.

I have found these two brands, both on ebay for about $250 a pair.

Does anyone know about these brands?

How tall are you? I'm 6'4 and my Kirkey's cover me w/ the brain bucket on. They don't recline, but I moved the seat back 2" to give me more leg room.

I dont see you buying a Momo/Sparco etc for $400 a pair, a piece maybe.

Here is what I bought




Here is the link to them, for the money you cannot TOUCH these seats

No the sliders do not bolt up, I bought a pair of Corbeau seat mounts off of E BAy for $100 and made them work, Procar also makes seat mounts for our cars. Yes $320 for the pair plus $80 shipping.
