Well, just in case you don't know each recaro seats weights 40 pounds :shocked: :shocked: :shocked:

I'm thinking about changing them soon, the best option for the money that i've found are the buddy club seats, any one of you has any suggestion?

I would love some spoon bucket seats, but paying 1200 $ per seat, it's just crazy :angry2:

thanks for your help, in the USA, i've found some fiber glass seats for 400 $ the pair shipped... any of you owns one of this seats?

thanks for your help :nice:

there is only one seat you need to consider, you might need to take out a loan to purchase them though: Bride Gias

Gia is the red one on the right, the black one in the left is stradia
haha, but honestly, try to get a carbon/carbon-kevlar fiber backed seat, reason i say this is becuase ive sat in ABS seats and the are VERY flexible, im not sure how much fiberglass will flex though.
 
This is a good thread, does anyone have any experience using aftermarket seats (IE comfort, flex, geometry, body holding ability ect.) I would like to know about the buddy club seat and F1Spec seats. With a fixed back seat is it ever a problem with the seat angled back too far?

Depending on your body size, i tried some bride bucket seats, i'm size 34 , and it was way to tight for me, this seats are made for japanese drivers that weights like 90 pounds and are 5"4 lol :lol:

I also try the buddy club normal version, that fitment was ok, but i think i will fit even better in the wide seat version :nice:

This seats with a low position seat rail, they're not good for daily drive...

I was wondering if the F1Spec seats has the same quality of the buddy club, since they're cheap, but the FRP version, doesn't convince me, maybe i might be wrong..

Andynista, has some bride seats, and they're made of FRP, after almost 2 years of use, they're in perfect condition!

yep like i said, i'm not size 32, the bride zeta II will fit perfectly for size 32 :nice:
 
buddy club is the best option for the money, i really dont like the cheap one's

anyway in my opinion, your car deservers a high quality bucket seat! bride + carbon fiber = complete happiness hehehe
 
well i think i will have to buy a FRP version because, carbon kevlar is just way to expensive, i found a site f1spec.com they're selling 2 seats shipped for 400 $

what do you guys think ? :)

i read reviews and they say that no problems at all :(
 
yes, but the the amount you will pay for shipping will offset the discount i can get :(
