hi everyone, ive done some searching, but i still havnt found what im looking for. if this is a repost please direct me to a link that would fulfill what im looking for.

so ive been looking into getting a new seat for my s13. im riding in the stock leather seat and it is definitly no good for the track. i was wondering if you guys could post what kind of seat you are riding, bucket or reclining, and your opinion on it. also include what kind of rail you used, since we all know about the bump.

im looking for your opinions on what seat i should get, im most likely going to go with a full bucket, that holds real well but is good for daily driving and wont wear my @$$ out after a few minutes/hours, or have me aching in pain. i dont mind so much inconvenience of getting in and out of the seat. im about 5'7" and weigh about 150 lbs. so im pretty little. any suggestions? thanks in advance.

From what I've heard and read around hear most aftermarket seats don't fit with without mods do to the exhaust running under the driversside. I think alot of people around here run S14 seats and maybe Bride seats which are on the pricey side since they come from Japan.

ive considered s14 seats, but the bolsters dont really benefit my small frame at all. ive looked into brides, but yeah, theyre pricey. the only one i could really afford would be the pros, but that one doesnt have any leg bolstering. ive got a friend who is willing to sell me a buddy club seat, and that thing holds like mad, but im not sure about it's daily drivability.

i have corboue a4 seats with there rails and they just bolt in.. if you are going to drive your car every day then get somethat reclines... your back wil thank you..... but with seats you are going to want to get harness too... no point getting into a good seat if you can't get held there in it

i would say to get a s15 silvia seat, i read that they hold you in pretty well and are way more comfy than our s13 seats
