Need some advice on a good racing seat

[matt_2036]

Okay here it goes. I am not looking for a pair, just one seat for a 350z. I am looking for something reclinable, and under $500. I am also looking for something with spot for an air bag sensor, so my dummy light isn't on all the time. Any suggestions?

my advice to you on that one is save up some more money and keep doing your research obviously on them, and then when you finally buy one take your time and make sure you get your seat fitted properly you dont want to be rideing in seats that you thought were good enough. As for tricking the sensor I have no heard of a seat with such a thing but that doesnt mean they are not out there. My personal favorites in that price range are the sparco torino 2 and the recaro speed s. the recaro can be in or out of your budget (mostly out) depending on where you buy it from but the sparco is about 50 to 100 over your budget. Geting somthing that is adjustable for under 500 thats fitted right and of good quality is going to be a hard thing to find. Remember seats are like pants, some companys have them run small some have them run large so what maybe good for me may not be good for you.

A REAL race seat does NOT or should not recline. The mechanism may not hold up under hard track running and can be a real pain. Plus a one piece seat such as Sparco will give you much better support in the lower back area compared to a two piece recliner. You can still mount this type of seat to the fore and aft sliders if you need multiple adjustments.

m hesitant about buying a seat that is one peice without sitting in it first. And outside of the cheap seats at pep buys I know of no other place that has seats on display in Charleston sc.

Google race/performance shops in Charleston or look in the yellow pages. You should find a shop that has seats in stock where you can sit in.
