I'm thinking about changing seats. Well actually sell both my seats and then get just one different bucket seat since I dont ride passengers in my car and the money left over I'm saving for the swap.

Thinking of getting CHarge speed kevlar bucket seat. I"ll post pics in a little bit(which means tomorrow )

Also the my seats now makes my car look like Spidermans ride with the red and blue going on. I'll get black or probably blue....

What do you think?

i suggest black.2 buckets is too much for me as well.i have to haul stuff every time i go to the track, so if i had 2 buckets, i wouldtn be able to put the pass. seat down at all.

yeah sometimes you just wanna sleep in the car and it sucks. and it feels like a mission trying to get out of the car just like how it feels when the car is lowered.

i like bride buckets. cf is nice but fiberglass is more affordable

how much do they run. They look pretty decent and expensive. I plan on buying one seat because I'm poor and taking out if it gets too uncomfortable and replacing it before events. I plan on the Sparco Pro 2000 which is fiberglass.

putting seats in a 240 is a pain.. i got 2 seats and then i had wedge engineering make me some brackets.. the fitted the sliders well.. but the sliders are too high.. so my head hits the roof.. i dont move my seats around and i eliminated the rear ones.. so my seats can just sit in 1 position.. im in the process of eliminating the sliders and just mounting the brackets to the seats.. dunno.. they were cheap seats.. probably wont have the same problem.. so im just giving a heads up.. and wedge engineering did my brackets for around 170 for both thats with S/H.. but nice brackets.. freinds got some for recaros and they fit nice..

um a lot of people have 240s just because its overpopular doesnt mean its not good. just think about the resale value. most people just have crappy brix or ergos which i have no idea why they buy because they dont even hold that well. or you could get recaro if you want

i don't like bride cuz everyone has it... i like bride cuz when i sat on one i was tucked in there and was comfortable... thats why i am a bride fan, not because everyone has it... but cuz it fits me well.

i've tried recaros and the sparco evos sitting at the shop waiting for chris' s15, they don't really fit me well, kinda loose but the memory cell thingy is pretty good =] i could fall asleep in one of those

but yea, besides that, bucket seats start to hurt after a while, wouldn't recommend it for daily driving. =]

That is true..problem is, we think differently

THe recaro's that I wanted will cost me my engine.
