Default Flame suit - Check. Need opinions.

Oki. Im still in the mode where I want to build the Z up a bit, but I must do so on a very strict/conservative budget. I keep seeing racing seats and it makes me want them. That and a new shift ****.. but anyway. My point being is, I found these racing seats from a place called JCW Sport Compact. The price is nice, 159 each. Anyone have experience with them, or these seats specifically? I dont think they look too bad either, tell me what you guys think.

I'd get the black of course:



They have a few different colors, but Id probably do black. The sites says they fit, so Im wondering if it's as simple as just pulling the old ones out and putting in the new. Thanks everyone.

Why don't you get some Corbeau, Momo, or Cobra seats? Those are way better in quality and can be bought with a lighter wallet or even some used seats. I would never put those in my car. I even remember seeing a similar "racing" seat at Costco wrapped in "leather" for only 99 bucks.

Dude, your car looks too good for those. I'd rather keep the stock seats for now and save up for some Recaro's or Bride's.

other then the holes for the harnasses, i'd say the stock steats look better built then those.

i'd say save up a bit and get some real nice racing seats.

Hmmm.. well, so you guys are saying I should maybe look around a bit before I commit? lol..

Oki, point taken. I guess I could afford some used ones if Im patient. Seats are actually pretty low on my list of mods, but I was only seeing the cheap price. Thanks for the opinions. =)
