Racing Seats

Does anybody know of good racing seats for the third gen, more specifically the 92? We have Bomz Racing in there now, but realized on the way home from the muffler shop today that the driver's seat bracket broke. Does anybody know of a good racing seat that works great for our generation? Please let me know as we will probably be replacing them soon. Just front seats, of course.

a real "racing" seat, or a "sport" seat? A real racing seat is not the type of seat that you'll want to live with in a driver. If you mean a "sport" seat like 99% of the people who ask about race seats, then you might want to look at Yonaka. Their seats are affordable, they don't have any cheesy logos embroidered on them, and the seat frames have a lifetime warranty.


Just keep in mind that this brand, as well as any others in this price range, aren't going to come with bolt-in sliders. You'll either need to adapt your stock seat brackets or modify the universal ones that come with the seats. To get seats that have bolt-in sliders, you'll have to get into corbeau, sparco, recaro, etc.

Trust me, comfort is not a big deal. We drive it almost everyday, but it is mainly for autocrossing and drag racing. That's why we also have five point harnesses. My dad did order some Corbeaus this morning. Thanks for the help.
