Cheap Sport seats (non bmw sports)

[Intro]

Because i can not afford the seats i want (Corbeau CR1) i was looking for a cheaper seat and i found this site
http://www.bucketracingseats.com/All...FQ89awodkVEjfw
and was wondering if any of you have sat in any of the seats that are <400$? and what you thought of their quality. More specificaly have you sat in a matrix seat/movano/hyperform or any of the ther other cheaper seats and your thoughts on them? I like the look of race seats and the feel, but i cant afford the highend seats and my sport seats are in need of replacing, but i dont want to buy something and have it feel like junk. let me know what you think of these seats.

ii have been a couple times but cant find any that are not torn as bad as mine.

Find a private wrecker instead of a crappy pick a part. Their interior bits are always well protected, and they buy better condition parts cars.

so.... has anyone actually sat in any of these seats?

They aren't going to approved for any type of racing so I dont think anyone would waste their money. I wouldn't even put those seats in a 15 HP go kart. But I would buy a set to build a driving simulator for rally racing.

If I were you I would just go to an auto uphostery place and get your seats redone.

Yeah at 600-800pr just for a leather kit? (ah but these are vinyl....hmm...) Im sure if he could afford that he would just buy the seats he wants.

I would haunt craigslist. Cheap ones come up from time to time; you may have to Frankenstein two to get one. Yes its possible to do and no you don’t need an upholsterer to do it. Just a few tools hog rings/hog ring pliers, a heat gun, a hot sunny day, a friend and most of all patience. I have successfully done 7 series seat like that for a buddy and they came out fine.


Eshmay also has some slip on leather sprot covers for like 179 the pair. I dont know if they are any good but they might prove good for the interm..



The mans a on a budget ( i can relate) so we cant suggest throwing more money at it.

[e34john]

He could get both seats redone in a nice vinyl for the same price as a CR1 without shipping and bracket costs.

good point about not being legal for racing. I guess ill try hunting craigslist... wish me luck

[De //m3]

good luck...

there used to be a good number of used corbeaus floating around, but nothing came up when i just checked...

You have to "haunt" craigslist. It requires an ocd personality to do it right ;)

That's what crazedlist.org is for. Multitasking CL FTW.

those seats are all ugly as shit. when i had a miata i had corbeau seats in it, and they were a really really good value. they werent sparco or recaro level but they were more than i expected for a 200 dollar seat. look on scca forums and road racing forums, they are ALWAYS for sale on there.

I have been contemplating these for a while now. They look pretty nice, and come with universal sliders. Plus they usually have them in tan.

These are mine, love 'em. Seats, sliders, delivered for less than a grand.
