Going to replace my Scheels. Interested to see what people like the best for race seats. Corbeau and Sparco seem like they are priced the best. Do they all fit in our cars?

I have a cheap Monaco steel framed seat. I bought it because I knew that I could weld the 914 seat rails directly to the frame and get the seat really low without all the aftermarket brackets and rails. It's not a Cobra brand Monaco, it's a Monaco brand. It was the last one in the country, GPR was the US distributor and they quit selling them for some unclear reason, so I got it for $100.00.
I would really recommend that you go someplace where they have some seats in stock, take a book, and spend 10-15 solid minutes in any seat that you're seriously considering buying. I only sat in this one for a couple of minutes, I bought it for the price. After my first 20 minute run the pain in my back was unbelievable. I had to cut open a seam and stuff a folded towel in the lumbar area of the backrest so that I could drive the car again. Everything's fine, now. That towel has been in there for 6 years. I guess I should check on it sometime. |
