hey guys,
i was thinking of replacing the stock seats with some "affordable" bucket seats.
is it worth it to buy the buddy club ones ?i never saw them but they look kinda cheap in some pics so thats why im not decided yet
sparco & bride are like impossible to buy
Thanks for the help

 

You get what you pay for...

I've never seen them in person as well. I'd say save some more and wait for a good deal on used brides/sparcos/recaro.. etc just my cent

 

I checked them out at the last Time Attack , they look and feel great. I will have a set when i get a roll cage.

 

How much are they?

 

^ like 400 a seat without the rails...

 

Dude.....


You can get a great set of Sparco Torinos for around that price............................

and i think Sparco also carries another seat type that retails for $399 a peice.

 

here's a pic of the seats :




i'll check the sparco......

 

Sparco Fighter looks good ! (in black ) : retail is 550$

 

You want full bucket i take it?

 

get CF NRG Seats they are super light..

 

Function or looks because unless you are flat out around a track every weekend, the stock seats work just fine. I could never put down $2500-$3000 for seats. Plus a rollcage.....duckets.

 

^ stock seats are boring and i don't like the way they look.
just replacing them will make the car look better IMO.

 

aha ,buddy club sell the P1 limited edition seats, they re super light too ( carbon kevlar)

 

lol I like my buddy club wheels

 

So cheap looking is better than boring looking? Recaro is probably the least boring looking seats....2 cents.

 

I was contemplating the buddy club seats, mainly because they are the lightest seat i have found. They weigh about 5kg, when all the rest of the ones i've seen weigh around 6-8kg.

 

always thought of them to be good

 

They are good. I bought mine based on the recommendation of a few local spec Miata guys. They're all about getting the most bang for the $ and for entry-level seats, the buddy club is one of the best. I've had mine for almost 3 years , 30,000mi now and its still in great shape.

The only caveat is that it is small! I'm 6' 165lb and I fit snugly in the 'wide' version of the seat. I'm running NAMS super low rails along with it, it is an upgrade of 1000x better than the stock seat if you do any competitive auto sports.

 

these are the bucket/racing seats that i was looking at... kind of also considering brides; they are pretty pricey. quality stuff though.

 

Pricing?
