    Best seat upgrade?

    I currently have the IS sport seats, and I'm looking for something to replace them with. I'd like to be able to tilt it forward (for backseat access), and have the ajustability (for the most part) of the IS seats.

    What are your suggestions for a reasonably priced, decent quality seat?

    Also, it'd help if you could tell me what brackets I'll need to use.

    I'm 6'3" and have a pretty large frame, if that helps any.

            Want something new so that rules out E21 seats

            I need something adjustable, the speeds are not. If i wanted to sit on a fucking peice of metal, i could bend one up myself

                Recaro Speed, Sparco Torino, etc. Go to a local race shop and sit in the seats before you buy them, buy the one that fits you best.

                      Relatively cheap too compared to Sparco/Recarro. Plus you can get them in leather if you want.
