I'm looking for some new seats for the Z. I am going to keep it a daily driver, but I want some sort of lower weight, more support, racing type of seats. I'm wondering if anyone can provide some insight into the differences between the new NISMO, the Sparco, Recaro, and MOMO seats...

IF you want to see what they all look like, here are some links.

Thanks for any info.

MOMO

SPARCO

RECARO

NISMO

 

go for bride

 

brides are very nice. I wouldnt go with the nismo personally, cause of the looks. The stock seats are pretty good for me, and i would only replace them after they have worn out, but out of those i would definetly go with the milano, and if you can it would benefit you to take a test sit at a local shop if possible.

 

if you decide to go sparco, I have 2 sets of brackets and sliders for the Z

 

RECARO SPG!

 

whatever you choose, sit in them first..do not buy a seat on the internet without sitting in it first!

 

We have a container coming from Japan and our first shipment of Nismo seats should be on it. We will give you guys a full review when we install a set in my car.

 

Whatever you do, don't put red seats in your car, it just kinda freaks some people out. like me.

 

NISMO seats = Recaro I believe.

 

I second that.

 

i personally like sparco's in the black leather. or the fake swade.

 

I have Recaro SRD's in my GTI. Best seats I have EVER sat in.

I looked around for more than a year, trying out aftermarket seats, when it came down to it, it was between the Recaro SRD and the Sparco Torino or Milano with the Alcantara (suede) fabric.

The deciding factor was that the Sparco's always got in the way when reaching for the shifter. In other words, the side bolster gets in the way when pulling the shifter back.

The Recaro's have a slight curve in the side bolster at just the right height.

Bottom line is, go out and try the seats before you commit to spending $1500+ of your hard earned cash. If possible, take a drive with them. I never thought about the shifter issue until I test drove a car with the Torinos.
