Default Aftermarket Seats!

Ok so I'm looking around for seats to buy in the near future. I want cloth, hate leather. I have a bit of a bad back also so that might play into it and I'd like the seat to still recline. Also I do want good support but not full on bucket seats, this will be a mostly daily driver and even though I drive the **** out of the car it wont be doing hot laps at the ring most of the time lol Do you guys have any suggestions? I've never bought aftermarket seats so I really dont have experience with this at all and hope i can get some good advise. Any suggestions are appreciated.

If you have back problems, cross the Sparco R100 off your list. They are stiff in the back support area.

I would suggest finding a shop that has seats you can sit in before you blindly spend money on something not so back friendly. I have a very bad back and had surgery in 2010 for a herniated disc... I have decided to keep the stock seats and do leather eventually.

I want to pick up some status or brides, but cant seem to pull the trigger because its a lot of money for something that I may not fit into comfortably. Do what STL said or look around for local's who have aftermarket seats. Im sure most wont mind letting you sit in them.

I have Recaro speeds and I like them. I don't daily my car, but I dont think these would bother me if I did. Ive done 2 hour drives and felt fine. The girlfriend complains that its a hassle to get in/out of the car, but I don't notice it

most aftermarket seats are extremely narrow.. +1 on sitting in some.

Recaro, corbeau etc or Sparco Milanos are good seats but are not cheap.

I was looking at seats to get in the next year or so. I like Bride's but obviously they are super expensive. Is SickSpeed basically Bride knockoffs? Any cheap seats anyone would suggest? Thanks!

Corbeau is $300-$400 For the one in the link I posted. I don't think you'd want to pay less for a seat.

Agreed. You never know what you'll like until you see it and sit in it, especially if you have back problems!
