Want a bucket seat for my S14, don't want to pay £ra*e for scene tax brands like Bride etc.
So far I've found two that fit the budget and look half all right.
Can anyone comment on how wide they are, how they fit in an S14, any reccomendations they might have? I'm 6'1 and about 34" waist (so quite big, certainly not a skinny guy).
- £160 Sparco Sprint Link (with free rails)
Cobra Monaco Pro £170 http://www.jjcraceandrally.com/rally/ste...ide-mounts
Ideally I wanted a recliner so I can still get sucked off and lean right back when I want to chill but it is a drift car so... Sacrifices need to be made.

But being a drift car you'll be making lots of females moist therefore requiring the recliner version so that they may show you how much your sideways abilities impress their downstairs regions

For that money you could almost get a pair of Rally Designs seats which were apparently built to FIA spec but never certified due to the cost of it.

Nothing wrong with steel frame seats. Sparco sprint and Cobra Monaco are both FIA approved so are more than safe enough. Heavier than a shell seat though but not by massive amounts. Still much lighter than an O/E seat.

Also ignored my post also as that is £135 +VAT for a FG bucket and they are dead comfy and come with side mounts and I'm a similar size to you.
