Default Anyone recommend a good racing seat?

Well, I will be stripping my car down this week to get it ready for a cage.

If any of you guys need any tan interior stuff let me know. because it's all coming out. I have some rough shape mk4 seats too.

Anyone recommend a good seat for the sc?

I am 5'9 160 pounds

I think it's gadget SC who has tan leather Recaros. They look really nice but are a pretty penny.

I have a 1 piece Sparco Pro2000 but I'm a little wider in the waist, I love it but its in my track car. I also have a reclinable Sparco Torino 2 as a passenger seat and it works well.

I like the way those sit. My buddy had a sprint in his miata. But they are a ***** getting in and out of. But I will be using this car as a drift car only so...I guess that style is the way for me to go. The prices are in the range I am looking to spend too. What about rails?

I love my Bride Zeta III seat. However, and not to be mean, but these seats will not fit larger people. It is perfectly sized for me, and I am 5'10 139lbs +/- 5. Be careful when shopping for a seat. Brides for example are smaller Sparcos are a bit larger I believe. Most of my friends have a very hard time trying to get in my seat.
