which seats are better

[bobtsgt]

Since I got some time on my hands I figured I look at some seat possibilities. Vote for the one you like the best. And if anybody has any of these please tell me what you like/dislike about them. I'm looking for some lighter weight seats that still feel good for those rides to the cruises and plan on putting a bar behind for harness hook up.

Hah... its funny that you should be looking into seats... I just bought a set of those GS-1 Sport seats similar to the ones Scott put into the Prom Queen... except that obviously mine will be black instead of tan....

[331TwistedWedge]

they all look nice ... i like the 3rd pic the best ... Kirkey Aluminum Intermediate Road Race Seats ...

[bobtsgt]

the road race ones look purdy but they are $211 a piece.

I also thought about these too but I wouldn't be loosing that much weight but they do look nice http://www.jegs.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product2_10001_10002_772085_-1

[331TwistedWedge]

those are cool as well, nice price on those ...... 28lbs, you will save a little, lol ......

I like those..I'm actually searching for some right now for my Red Sled project..I'd like to get Corbeaus but I am already spending a ton of cash as it is..My car will be damn near brand new...

[bobtsgt]

yeah but it I did the procar ones I would only save about 15lbs total. The economy drag seats are 15lbs by themselves

Kirkey aluminum pro street drag seat WE HAVE THIS ONE ON OUR RACE CAR... IT'S VERY NICE AND WORKS VERY WELL......

[bobtsgt]

how comfy is it for say a 2 hour drive? how much padding on the bottom, back, sides?

[stroked4eyes]

His car is faster than that...never been in it for two hours I am guessing.

I have a Kirkey Pro Road Race (the uber-bling, $700 version), but it's pretty similar to the Intermediate Road Race in design, just with more reinforcement. You're more than welcome to come by my house and sit in it to see how it feels. It's definitely comfortable enough for a daily driver. The road race seats are MUCH nicer than the drag seats.

[bobtsgt]

that would be cool. mabey this weekend if your free. The intermediate road race is 18lbs which isn't bad at all. only bad part is they are pretty pricy since you have to get the seat cover as well.

[cstreu1026]

I know rscoupe has Kirkey's in his real street car. If I get a chance to wedge myself in one I will let you know what I think. The procar seats look cool. I wonder what the grey and black look like in person?

I should be around. I'll PM you my phone number.

Bob, why don't you look into getting something like these:

http://store.summitracing.com/partdetail.asp?autofilter=1&part=SUM%2DG1159&N=700+115&autoview=sku

I believe these are the same ones that 93hulk is running, and they are super nice, and still relatively cheap comparted to other aftermarket seats. I didn't get to sit in them, but if they feel anything like the corbeau's, they are pretty comfortable.

[90lx]

ours have more padding on them than most. we got some foam big enough to cover the seat and cut it to the seat and then glued it.. 2.5 inches think and firm makes for a comfy seat... but yes this is a 1/4 mile car and not driven on the street.....

those are the same ones that Scott (Moontang) has in his. I sat in them and they seem pretty comfy. Thats what actaully sparked me into getting new seats. but the only bad thing is there isn't much of a weight savings if I went with the reclining ones. but I guess I can always add more power to make up for the weight :D

I have a kirkey Pro Street Drag that I think is pretty comfy. I have a set of Jazz seats and covers I am thinking of selling to be able to put a matching kirkey in the pass side. I got mine at Cincy Speed!

They are the same ones..I seen them a few weeks ago over at Plated's house...He said they weigh about the same as the factory seats...They are nice though...

i like #3!

Yea, I'm not too sure on what the stock seats weigh and what those weigh.

But I do know that my Corbeau's weigh considerably less than the stockers. I need to pull one out and see what it weighs.

Drag seats - made for 10 seconds of seat time
Road Race seats - made for hours of seat time

[Timido]

The only thing I hate about road race seats is the side bolster that makes it tough to get in and out of the car.

[rmracing]

I have the kirkey pro street drag seats and there great . I did drive from bowling green K.Y. to cincinnati a couple years ago and they were pretty comfy for a race seat . They do have alot of padding on the bottom .

i also have the pro street drags and i dont think they are all that bad either you can always do like someone else did and ad a little foam under the cvrs :bigthumb

[bobtsgt]

that is a good idea Don. Would you mind if I came over one night and have a sit in your seat?

[Badfbdy]

I have the pro drag race ones and man they hug me.

[slvr87cpe]

no stop by anytime i am usually home after 5:00:bigthumb

[bobtsgt]

alright. thanks Don.:D

[bobtsgt]

well the pro drags are very comfy. the back could you a little bit of padding but no big deal. I'll have to take some measurments since I have the speaker box I take out for the races. Plus with a roll bar it will make for a tight fit.

[mustangboy]

I just picked up a set of Corbeau Forza's and they feel pretty darn comfy.

[bobtsgt]

Wish I had the funds for Corbeaus. I think I will like to pro drags for what I want
