what are the best seats?
�
�
there are parts that are top of the line that people drool about and are like wow if I had money I'd get them, ex: volks are wheels that if money weren't an issue people would get, what are the seats that are in your oppinion among the best? I don't know much about seats but I've read reviews on the Sparco Milanos and as of now it seems they are the seats that if I had money I'd get, I know lots of ppl get bride seats and I was wonderin are there seats better than the Sparco Milanos and what are they

in my opinion i like the wrx sti ra "c" spec seats they pull out and replace with carbon tub seats when they build them for racing. the seats make their way over here occasionally.check with spdusa dot com.. i think the new c spec seats are exposed carbon fiber on the back. but you have an 05 with airbag seats, so no swap for yuo?

I beleive you are talking about S204 butt holders @ $1500 a piece
if you want a proper seat you gotta decide if it's for show or go, and then choose some according to your body specs, then actually place yourself in them and make a decision based upon comfort

They are Recaro SP-X's and they are way more than $1500, and that's if you're lucky enough to get your hands on them. The S204 parts are incredibly difficult to get your hands on too.

not really, they are about that price
now, if you want them to say STI on the other hand.... that's a different financial story :lol:
I recall AVO vendor was offering certain S204 parts in vendor classfields

There is no best. There's best for YOU.
I know that sounds cheesy, but it's true. If it's a race-only car, you'll want a non-reclining seat with huge wing supports. On a street car, probably a reclining seat like a Recaro Sport or SRD, Cobra Misano, Sparco Torino or Milano, any of those, take your pick. Corbeau makes nice stuff at a cheaper cost, as well.
Best thing to do is test fit.

I have Sparco monzas and love them. I have had them for over a year now. They fit a larger frame just right and are reclinable and I got a hell of a deal on them. I couldnt pass it up. I had a full STi swap before and it did not just cut it for me.

I've got a Recaro SPG for the driver seat and a Recaro Speed for the passenger w/ Schroth 3" Camlock Harnesses.
best pic I got where you can sort of see my seats:

I think he is talking about the JDM spec c seats, the black STi seats that you see from time to time out of the cars they build for rally.

I didn't
as I said they didn't exactly "hug" me, I need more support (being a really skinny guy :p )
funny thing about them, is that you expect them to be taller (back part) but they aren't, even considering the fact that they seat lower
don't get me wrong, I still think they are very sexy seats to have especially for city/occasional events

I'm a big fan of the Sparco Evo seats. They may be a fixed back seat, but they are quite comfortable. I'd put them in any car I own...if I had the money. And since they are fixed back, they weigh a lot less and actually create more leg room for passengers in the back seat.

I could score myself a set of S2k seats for a graet price.
does anyone have any idea how it would fit in a gc8?

Through the doors? :lol: hehe j/k, I think you'd need custom seat rails...unless you modify your stock ones to mount them. Anything is possible :D

basicly you need to figure out how it sits on the rails. then see if you can get a rail for it. there are only a matter of a few rails for our cars. sparco and 1 or 2 others. Then likly have to figure out a way for it to sit on there. Who makes the seats, and don't tell me honda.

I have no idea who supplies s2k seats to honda.
they dont have any badge or anything. just black leather. it's from a honda car but hey. they are leather and nice.
I think they are great seats. guess it's alright to install them if i can make them fit correct?

Are we talking daily driver seats or daily/track or strictly track? I've always been a big fan of Recaro's. I've seen one too many torn Sparco's. Just doesn't seem like their material hold up well.
